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.

The Future of Density: Rethinking the Cerda Block
How can Barcelona's iconic urban block evolve to address the social, ecological, and technological challenges shaping the future of urban life? In The Future of Density, students investigate how housing can adapt to six global challenges: climate change and energy, demographic shifts and migration, food and water security, artificial intelligence, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss. Using systemic design approaches, computational tools, and emerging AI technologies, students develop speculative housing models that rethink density as an adaptive framework for more resilient, resource-conscious, and interconnected urban communities.
