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 23/24 Molecular Landscapes Seminar
The seminar invites participants to experience nature as a complex multiscale entity and journey into microscopic worlds of survival and rejuvenation. The research session will focus on exposing examples of man-made urban ground and infrastructure. Through case studies, the seminar will delve into the invisible scales of city landscapes, analysing microscopic phenomena embedded in urban techno soil. By collecting data and samples from parks, gardens, demolition sites, or fractures and voids of highly industrialised areas, the collective research will journey into scales alongside microscopic organisms contributing to the recovery of toxic and injured landscapes.
