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: MUPD01 & MAA01 25/26 Designing for more than Humans Seminar
Ecological Restoration of Urban Spaces
Designing for more than Humans investigates how architecture can actively support biodiversity by re-centering design around non-human life and ecological relationships. The seminar challenges human-centered design paradigms, treating architecture as one element within broader ecosystems where plants, animals, materials, and environmental forces hold equal value. Through theoretical reflection and design experimentation, students explore strategies such as rewilding, designed ecologies, and spatial redistribution of human activity to promote ecological stewardship and multispecies coexistence.
