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 Fab.AR Seminar
Manual Fabrication Assisted with Augmented Reality
Fab.AR explores how augmented reality (AR) can bridge the gap between computational design and material fabrication. While digital tools and AI have expanded the scope of architectural design, they have also introduced challenges that often obscure design intent and limit the integration of craftsmanship and situated practices. The seminar positions AR as an operational interface that enables real-time interaction between digital information and physical environments. Through the development of custom workflows and prototype tools, students investigate how AR can support processes such as guided assembly, on-site decision-making, and feedback-driven iteration. Emphasizing human-machine collaboration ,the seminar encourages the design of systems that augment rather than replace manual fabrication to foster more adaptive, intuitive, and materially grounded architectural practices.
