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.
A web application that analyses an IFC building model and recommends passive cooling strategies for Mediterranean climates. Upload a building, place it on the map, set its orientation, and get a ranked set of design interventions backed by a knowledge graph and Claude AI. The tool helps architects explore the passive strategies of their building … Read more
A tangible table that shows a building’s cost, carbon and time while you design it Hardware III · Human in the Loop · Interactive Systems · 2025–2026 Every building starts with a handful of decisions made in the dark — material, method, footprint, height. They are committed first, before anyone consults the data, and they … Read more
A headset-based AR platform that guides a human assembler through complex joinery step by step, projecting ghost geometry directly onto the physical parts in 3D space. The system closes the feedback loop in real time, reading part placement through the device’s own cameras and advancing the assembly sequence automatically when each joint is correctly seated. … Read more
