The MAA is a visionary master program with an innovative and open structure, mixing diverse disciplines, shaping professionals capable of producing theoretical & practical solutions towards responsive cities, architecture & technology.
Course: MAA01 22/23 Data Informed Structures Seminar
The seminar focuses on performative data informed structures for extreme contexts. Being a two-term seminar, it links structural design and fabrication techniques, by means of feedback between digital and physical. While using structural engineering plugins for Rhino and Grasshopper, students gain knowledge on how to design based on concepts and typologies of structural optimisation. This culminates in off-site construction methodologies, testing 1:1 connections and/or assembly methods.

DESIRE – DESIgn for REassembly
Abstract The project’s purpose is to design two different proposals where bricks and timber if cross-section 45mmx90mm are used as materials for both constructions. A study of fabrication process, creating connections and ways of assembly-disassembly structures. Proposal A CONCEPTBrick and Timber Concept Design – V3 Digital Exploration Design objective: Use the same amount of material … Read more
