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.
This seminar explores how designers can use newly developed digital tools to imagine futures that benefit community and ecology, while nurturing the bond between the human and natural world. The process involves defining strategies for collecting and codifying qualitative data related to vulnerable communities, which in turn are used as design drivers to invent buildings that nurture the environments they inhabit, and the people who inhabit them.
