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.
Bio-Receptive | Interfaces
Bio-Receptive Interfaces is a bio-digital system that brings together hydrogel vascularity, multi-species biological communities, sensor networks and AI to form performative indoor ecosystems. The ceramic scaffold is produced through multi-material robotic 3D printing with non-uniform extrusion, tuning porosity and surface topology to invite colonization. Its morphology is grown rather than drawn: an agent-based phototropic model, … Read more
