The Master in Advanced Ecological Buildings and Biocities (MAEBB) postgraduate program is an 11-month immersive academic program focused on learning how to design and build a new generation of buildings and cities to respond to the planet’s emerging climate challenges. The program is carried out in Valldaura Labs, in Barcelona, a 135 He property located in the Collserola forest. Here, students will live and work surrounded by nature while using the most advanced technologies and design techniques in the pursuit of what is also IAAC’s long term initiative, to create self-sufficient and ecological environments.
Course: MAA01 23/24 Ecological Interactions Seminar
The ecological interactions seminar explores state of the art monitoring techniques being developed in the fields of biology, ecology and agricultural sciences and repurposes them to form new systems of observation that can be applied to design practices and the built environment. Advances in data science and the growing access to DNA barcoding, and remote sensing devices are allowing scientists to detect signals from the natural world that were previously unreadable, and are revealing animal behaviours and communication channels and senses that were unknown. The seminar explores what can be learned by intercepting these signals and what might be learned from the senses of other organisms to inform our design decisions, reduce environmental impacts and deploy nature based solutions.
