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.
Based on the term “Advanced Architecture”, coined in 2003 in the Metapolis Dictionary of Advanced Architecture, the course aims to establish theoretical principles around 3 Conceptual Perspectives: [1] Transversal Logics: Information - Cities; [2] Relational Logics: Cities - Nature; [3] Digital Logics: Nature - Information. The seminar explores relevant architectural references, in order to construct a critical body of knowledge that serves as a basis (both theoretical and practical), in particular related to the emergent paradigm around Advanced Architecture.
