The Master in City & Technology’s academic structure is based on IAAC’s innovative, learn-by-doing and design-through-research methodology which focuses on the development of interdisciplinary skills. During the Master in City & Technology students will have the opportunity to be part of a highly international group, including faculty members, researchers, and lecturers, in which they are encouraged to develop collective decision-making processes and materialize their project ideas.
Urban Reading Studio: Digital Cartographies. Mapping urban complexity in the Anthropocene explores how data-driven tools can reveal the complex dynamics of contemporary urban environments. The course challenges traditional models of urban analysis by integrating computational design, critical cartography, and ecological thinking. Through hands-on work in Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, students learn to create data-rich visualizations and design interventions that reinterpret cities as evolving, multi-layered systems shaped by both human and technological forces.

The Computational Evolution of CAD and BIM (1750–2025) Ultimately, the diagram presents visualization as an evolving infrastructure of thought. What began as an act of representation has become a computational process: an interface where information, material, and intelligence continuously negotiate the making of space. The Tool The tool we propose represents the next evolutionary step … Read more
