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.
This research studio trains AEC students to design, prototype and pilot AI-driven products for city-scale problems.
The global agricultural system is facing a severe crisis. Currently, agriculture is responsible for consuming a staggering 79% of global freshwater. Despite this massive consumption, the process is highly inefficient, with 60% of irrigation water being lost. Furthermore, modern farming relies heavily on chemicals, seeing a 70% increase in pesticides, while an estimated 40% of … Read more
