During the second year of the Master in Advanced Architecture + Thesis Project (MAA02), students have the unique opportunity to work for a period of 1 year on an Individual Thesis Project, focused on the development of a research or pilot project based on the student’s interest, and the learnings of the first year. IAAC supports the student in selecting their Thesis Project topic in order to better orient them according to their future career interests and opportunities. Each student, according to their specific topic, is assigned one or more Thesis Advisors that follow the development of the work throughout the year.
In parallel to the development of the Individual Thesis Project, the second year of the MAA02 offers a series of seminars enhancing the theoretical, practical and computational skills of the students.

Introduction This project was an exploration of traditional Trencadis using robotic assembly system. Inspired by spirals in nature, we explored entropy and how we can achieve order from chaos, from broken irregular pieces of ceramics. We chose spirals as the symbol of emergent order. Context Barcelona’s architectural identity is deeply tied to Trencadís, a mosaic … Read more
