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 Introduction to Digital Fabrication Seminar
Digital Fabrication introduces students to contemporary production techniques that connect computational design with machine-oriented fabrication. The course explores how digital tools, such as laser cutting, CNC milling, and 3D printing, transform the way architecture is conceived and built.
Through weekly hands-on phases, students design and prototype modular components for vertical building elements, translating geometry into efficient, performance-based designs. Each phase combines lectures, practical fabrication sessions, and reviews focused on physical outcomes rather than digital models. By the end of the seminar, students gain the skills to model, fabricate, and assemble architectural elements, confidently using digital machines and collaborative maker spaces.
