The MaCAD is a unique online programme training a new generation of architects, engineers and designers ready to develop skills into the latest softwares, computational tools, BIM technologies and AI towards innovation for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.
The Complex Forming seminar is structured to enhance students' technical skills in creating, analysing, and manipulating complex geometries through parametric design. Students will explore mathematical surfaces, tensile structures, voxel aggregation, recursion, particle-based systems, and tessellation techniques as they apply to architectural form-finding and design.

The objective was to transform the existing historic roof market of Bab El-Louk in Cairo through parametric roof design and optimized user circulation while maintaining the existing steel frames. DESIGN CONCEPT & EARLY EXPLORATIONS At the beginning, the goal was to find the roof form by using the existing roof surfaces shown in pink. Starting … Read more
Solid vs. Soft How can an object low in inherent solidity still be structurally present and define architectural space? This question lies at the heart of The Pneumatical Incrustation. Developed for the Complex Forming Seminar, this project explores the fundamental contrast between the solid and the soft. The goal was to investigate how “soft” forms … Read more
