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 25/26 Introductory Studio G2
Introductory Studio G2: Design Commons in the Anthropocene investigates how architecture can respond to planetary limits through adaptive reuse, material intelligence, and systemic thinking. Centered on Barcelona, the course treats the city as a material bank and laboratory for low-carbon transformation. Students analyse the ecological, social, and economic impacts of construction, map material flows, and experiment with regenerative building practices using locally sourced materials. By combining vernacular knowledge with digital tools, the studio challenges extractive models of building and cultivates design methods that are circular, collaborative, and responsive to ecological and social realities.
