During the second year of the Master in Advanced Architecture + Thesis Project (MAA02), students have the unique opportunity to work for a period of 1 year on an Individual Thesis Project, focused on the development of a research or pilot project based on the student’s interest, and the learnings of the first year. IAAC supports the student in selecting their Thesis Project topic in order to better orient them according to their future career interests and opportunities. Each student, according to their specific topic, is assigned one or more Thesis Advisors that follow the development of the work throughout the year.
In parallel to the development of the Individual Thesis Project, the second year of the MAA02 offers a series of seminars enhancing the theoretical, practical and computational skills of the students.
Course: MAA01 25/26 Design for GreenInCities Seminar
Designing Multispecies Public Space with Recycled Matter
Design for GreenInCities explores the intersection of circular construction and multispecies design through the reuse of construction and demolition waste. This seminar introduces rammed earth techniques using recycled materials to position public space as an ecological interface that supports both human and non-human life. Working within the Besòs pilot project of the GreenInCities initiative, students engage in hands-on processes of material sourcing, processing, and fabrication to develop site-responsive design proposals. Through group work, participants design and prototype public space elements that address environmental conditions such as microclimate, water collection, and material performance. Emphasizing coexistence, this seminar fosters a design approach grounded in circularity, material experimentation, and the creation of inclusive multispecies urban environments.
