We are Architects of Change, Prototyping the Future

We are Center of Education, Research, and Innovation that envisions, designs, and prototypes the future—from Barcelona to the world.

Beyond an educational institution, IAAC is a hub for transversal collaboration, connecting diverse disciplines to bring new concepts to life and make an impact on how we live, design, and build.

Our programmes are designed for those who want to break the mould. From radical architecture to self-sufficient design, we cover the subjects that matter, using the tools of tomorrow to build a better today.
