Within the current global context of rapid change, integrated with the potentials of digital technologies, IAAC’s Master in Advanced Architecture (MAA) is committed to the generation of new ideas and applications for Urban Design, Self Sufficiency, Digital Manufacturing Techniques and Advanced Interaction.
In this context IAAC works with a multidisciplinary approach, facing the challenges posed by our environment and the future development of cities, architecture and buildings, through a virtuous combination of technology, biology, computational design, digital and robotic fabrication, pushing innovation beyond the boundaries of a more traditional architectural approach.
Computational Logic of Iterative Assemblage Processes
Assembled Architecture investigates how computational thinking and algorithmic logic can inform architectural design in response to increasing density and complexity in the built environment. The seminar treats spatial building blocks as computational units, capable of storing and processing information through their geometric and topological properties. Using iterative growth and assembly processes developed in tools such as Grasshopper and the Anemone plugin, students explore how modular aggregations evolve into differentiated, coherent architectural systems driven by internal and external conditions.

Assembled Architecture Seminar Faculty: Andrea GrazianoFaculty Assistant: Nitsan Mor, Shrey Kapur Our project explores how architectural intention can be translated into computational logic through the construction of rule-based assemblages. Instead of designing form directly, we designed decision systems. Component Design and Random Assemblages Custom Assemblage Method Filtration Logic The process begins with a filtration logic … Read more
This project explores the computational assembly of components to form a multi-functional complex. By translating configurations into graphs, we applied Space Syntax logic to evaluate three key values : Depth, Integration, and Choice. The optimal architecture was selected based on the balanced symmetry of these indices. Finally, these analytical values directly guided the spatial programming, … Read more
