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: MAEBB01 22/23 Resilient Envelopes
Resilient envelopes have to be developed, based on the harvested design strategies and the gathered concepts that the environment offers and have to be driven by specific sustainable constructive systems, integrating materiality with specific origin and composition, but also with an ample room for manoeuvre in terms of performativity, recyclability, bio-degradability, longevity... In this sense, the use of advanced wooden envelopes will be blended with the exploration of other sustainable materials, such as ceramics, rammed-earth, light mineral or recycled / re-used elements.
