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.
Breathing Shade explores a lightweight, modular inflatable canopy for reducing heat exposure in urban public spaces. The system uses triangular two-chamber modules with a transparent outer envelope and an opaque inner chamber. As the inner chamber inflates, it increases shade, expands the module, and reduces gaps between neighbouring units, allowing opacity and porosity to change … Read more
Reassembling matter. Rethinking structures. The construction industry generates billions of tones of construction and demolition waste every year, yet most of this material remains excluded from structural applications due to its irregularity, unpredictability, and incompatibility with conventional building systems. Granulith investigates an alternative approach, asking whether demolition waste can be transformed from a discarded by-product … Read more

An exploration of Root Architecture and Material Study By uniting Ecological Restoration techniques with an adaptable architectural system, this project envisions a scalable, self-sustaining model that harmonises with natural ecosystems. Although the approach is contextualised within specific urban challenges, it offers a flexible framework adaptable to various environmental conditions and site-specific needs, ensuring its broader … Read more
La creación de Santa Fe fue resultado de la intensa expansión que experimentó la Ciudad de México en los años setenta, concebida como parte de una estrategia de reordenamiento urbano. Aunque en ese entonces no se hablaba en términos de reciclaje urbano, esta iniciativa abordó aspectos que hoy se consideran fundamentales en ese concepto. Las … Read more
