The Master Programme in Robotics and Advanced Construction is an innovative educational format that offers interdisciplinary skills and understanding through a series of class seminars that are put into practice through hands-on workshops. IAAC gives students the opportunity to create individual studio agendas and develop Pilot Thesis Projects based on the knowledge acquired during the seminars and workshops split into 3 Modules. In this way, IAAC puts together an experimental learning environment for the training of professionals with both theoretical and practical responses to the increasing complexity of the construction sector.

From Intuitive Stone Stacking to Rule-Based Robotic Assembly Introduction Computing Balance explores how the intuitive act of stone balancing can be translated into a computational construction system. Instead of treating balance as a visual effect, we approached it as a structural rule. Each stone is evaluated by its size, orientation, contact surface, center of mass, … Read more
The goal of the workshop “From Matter to Model: Materials Intelligence” was to understand materials before designing with them, their properties, geometry and fabrication logic, in order to develop a column sculpture proposal composed of base, body and capital. As a hands-on exercise, we built a column of compressed earth blocks and lime mortar using … Read more
