Manual floorplan generation for high-rise residential buildings is labor-intensive and often overlooks key environmental parameters, limiting the ability to quickly assess performance-based design alternatives. Demo :
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.

Abstract In response to the urgent need for rapid, climate-adaptive housing driven by the climate crisis and global migration, this research explores the architectural potential of combinatorial spatial assemblages. These systems, built through the aggregation of discrete components, offer emergent spatial qualities but are often driven by random or heuristic rules, making them difficult to … Read more
