During the second year of the Master in AI for Architecture & the Built Environment students have the opportunity of working hand in hand with a series of renowned experts and industry partners in various fields, to develop an in-depth individual research agenda. Students propose a thesis project, to be developed throughout the year, and are allocated with an Individual Thesis Advisor, Technical Advisor, Business Development and Industry Advisor. During the second year of the program, the curriculum of the program gives students the chance to either participate in an accelerator program or embark on a paid internship with renowned architectural and urban design offices around the world that collaborate with the programme. This experience enables students to apply their newfound expertise in real-world settings, contributing to impactful projects, establishing strong future career possibilities and expanding their professional networks.

Integrating Robotics and Microcontrollers in Architecture: From 3D-Printed Clay Pots to Seismic Safety

Abstract: In this class on Intelligent Prototyping within the MaAI program, we explored two distinct approaches to prototyping: 3D printing with robotic arms and real-time sensing with microcontrollers. Using parametric modeling tools, specifically Grasshopper, we designed and fabricated a series of 3D-printed clay pots. These included small, medium, and large-scale pots, with a focus on … Read more
