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 Ecological Interactions Seminar
Observing Ecosystems as Indicators for Design
Ecological Interactions explores how advanced monitoring techniques from biology, ecology, and agricultural sciences can be adapted to inform design practices and the built environment. The seminar examines how emerging tools such as DNA barcoding, remote sensing, and data science reveal previously unreadable ecological signals, offering new insights into non-human behaviors, communication, and environmental dynamics. Through a combination of theoretical inquiry and hands-on experimentation, students develop systems of ecological observation and responsive design that support nature-based solutions, multispecies awareness, and resilient land-use strategies.
