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 thesis explores how biosignals can transform artificial light into an adaptive architectural interface. While light strongly affects human emotions, cognition, and well-being, most lighting systems still rely on manual control and cannot respond to users in real time. The research investigates how EEG, ECG, and GSR data can be used to create dynamic lighting … Read more
Bio-Receptive Interfaces is a performative multi-material clay-based system for indoor environments, integrating hydrogel vascularity to host an ecosystem of cryptogams and vascular plants. Fusing biological intelligence with embedded sensors and AI, it sustains a prolonged hydration cycle, purifies air, sequesters carbon, and reintroduces ecological presence into synthetic indoor worlds—transforming sealed spaces into living, responsive, multi-species … Read more
