Within the current global context of rapid change, integrated with the potentials of digital technologies, IAAC’s Master in AI for Architecture and the built environement (MaAI01) is committed to the generation of new ideas and pioneer novel AI-driven solutions applications for the fields of Urban Tech, Smart Construction and Natural Ecosystems. The three transversal objectives of the program are Regenerative Design, Carbon Neutrality and Co-Design Processes.
In this context IAAC and the MaAI works with a multidisciplinary approach, integrating computational design, rapid prototyping, machine learning, data science, and generative AI implementing sustainable practices at an unprecedented scale. Facing the challenges posed by our environment and the future development of cities, architecture and buildings, through a virtuous combination of technology, biology, computational design, digital and robotic fabrication, pushing innovation beyond the boundaries of a more traditional architectural approach.
Course: MaAI 24/25 Design Communication & Interfaces
The Design Communication & Interfaces course comprehensively explores the principles and practices underpinning effective user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design along with necessary tools for development and deployment of these web-based experiences. This course aims to bridge the gap between visual communication theory and practical application in the digital landscape, emphasizing the importance of aesthetics and functionality in creating user-centered designs to communicate the architecture/urban project within this medium. Students will engage in hands-on projects focusing on synthesizing visual design elements with user interaction principles, fostering the development of intuitive and visually appealing digital interfaces.

When torrential rain dumped an entire year’s worth of water on Valencia in barely eight hours on 29 October 2024, the Turia spilled over its banks, submerging citrus groves, highways and whole neighbourhoods. More than 200 lives were lost, hundreds remained missing and Spain faced its worst flood disaster in recent history. Events like this … Read more
