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 Digital Matter Studio
Becoming Embodied
Digital Matter explores how digital technologies can radically rethink material practices in architecture to address the environmental impacts of construction. This research studio reframes materials from scarcity to abundance, introducing circular material economies, reclaimed and waste-based resources, and concepts such as urban mining, buildings as material banks, and design for disassembly. Students engage with embodied carbon analysis, life-cycle assessment, and computational tools to digitize, monitor, and optimize material flows, supporting regenerative and decarbonized architectural design.
