INTRODUCTION
IAAC’s Master in City & Technology (1 or 2-year program) is a unique program oriented towards redefining the future of the urban, through innovative, evidence based and experimental approaches to understand, design and materialise cities. The program sits at the intersection of data science and urban design, with the goal of training professionals capable of critically, creatively and technically managing uncertainty in design. The program develops cutting-edge tools, designs and approaches to effectively design in the context of planetary scale urbanisation, the climate change crisis and rapid technological development. Taking place in Barcelona, the capital of urbanism, the Master in City & Technology is a platform to shape multidisciplinary leaders empowered to pioneer the transition of the urban environment in the era of big data, towards resilient & circular cities, inclusive & just communities and adaptive & more than human urban environments.

CONTEXT & AGENDA
Rooted in the agenda of the Master in City & Technology is the ambition of reducing the distance between education, research and practice, the program is therefore conceived as a platform to apply innovative ideas to real-world problems. The Master in City & Technology operates through a decidedly industry-oriented approach. Students work is developed with and supervised by expert faculty and representatives from the professional world, from partners of architecture & urban design firms, to NGOs and world class networking organisations, which provide briefs that add a sharp and critical edge to the MaCT’s agenda.
Students learn computational and creative design skills together with critical research and communication methods that help them deliver impactful ideas and projects across all professional tiers. These include computer simulation, 3D modelling, data analytics, as well as visual reporting. The course introduces contemporary ideas of urbanization in a context of growing social unrest and a worsening climate-driven crisis. It does so based on a critical foundation of theory that helps students position themselves in this scenario and articulate a coherent and mature urban discourse.
TOOLS & SOFTWARE
Students of the Master in City & Technology are introduced to a large variety of technological tools and software that enable them to approach the analysis and design of urban spaces under a dynamic, collective, multidisciplinary and multiscalar perspective. During the programme students are trained on the latest tools for computational design, urban simulations, and spatial data science by attending seminars on programming, parametric mapping, big data analytics and visualization, as well as responsive urban design. Seminars on the following tools and software are conducted:
STUDENT PROJECTS
ACADEMIC STRUCTURE
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.
