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.
Course: MAA01 23/24 Ecological Interactions Seminar
The ecological interactions seminar explores state of the art monitoring techniques being developed in the fields of biology, ecology and agricultural sciences and repurposes them to form new systems of observation that can be applied to design practices and the built environment. Advances in data science and the growing access to DNA barcoding, and remote sensing devices are allowing scientists to detect signals from the natural world that were previously unreadable, and are revealing animal behaviours and communication channels and senses that were unknown. The seminar explores what can be learned by intercepting these signals and what might be learned from the senses of other organisms to inform our design decisions, reduce environmental impacts and deploy nature based solutions.
