Within the current global context of rapid change, integrated with the potentials of digital technologies, IAAC’s Master in Advanced Architecture (MAA) is committed to the generation of new ideas and applications for Urban Design, Self Sufficiency, Digital Manufacturing Techniques and Advanced Interaction.
In this context IAAC works with a multidisciplinary approach, facing the challenges posed by our environment and the future development of cities, architecture and buildings, through a virtuous combination of technology, biology, computational design, digital and robotic fabrication, pushing innovation beyond the boundaries of a more traditional architectural approach.
Public Engagement and Play
Serious Games explores how game design can be used to engage citizens and stakeholders with complex social and environmental challenges in architecture and urbanism. The seminar, conducted in a workshop format, introduces students to the principles of serious games, emphasizing play, empathy, and participation as tools for public engagement and knowledge exchange. Through hands-on exercises, fieldwork, and collaborative micro-game projects, students learn to translate urban research and data into interactive experiences that both communicate and generate insights about the built environment.
