Master in Design for Emergent Futures
MDEF challenges the current structures shaping our world by empowering you to prototype the future.
Why is designing the future more important than ever?
We are living in a moment of rapid transition. From this moment on, we will need to design for a world different from the one we have known. We need to incorporate new skills to work in a localised world that is hyper-connected. MDEF is a journey into designing for complexity, uncertainty, and possibility.
The future we want tomorrow is enabled by the actions we take today.

MDEF is structured into three terms, each featuring design studios, seminars, workshops, and masterclasses with industry experts. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a research trip, with past destinations including China, Cuba, Mallorca, the Canary Islands, and France.
The program has four conceptual pillars:
Instrumentation
Students learn a modular set of maker skills and tools and how these can be used in the design process to translate their ideas into prototypes and prototypes into products. Skills include coding, digital fabrication, hardware design, synthetic biology, and computational thinking.
Exploration
Students are exposed to a set of technologies and sociocultural phenomena that have the capacity to disrupt our present understanding of society, industry, and the economy.
Reflection
Students are supported through individual and group reflection sessions to develop their own identity and skill set, knowledge, and attitude as designers.
Application
Students create design responses to explore their curiosities through innovation. They are encouraged to be creative and follow a culture of making where prototyping acts as a generator of knowledge and experimentation is crucial for problem-solving.
The second year of MDEF focuses on advancing the Thesis Project initiated in the first year. Students refine their research and innovation agendas using an experimental, multiscalar approach, turning their final projects into viable platforms for academic research, business development, or contributions to open-source communities.
At the heart of the second year there’s the Thesis Project Design Workshop, which is composed by three steps each aligned with specific objectives for each quarter: Implementation, Validation, Dissemination
The Thesis Project is complemented by seminars and workshops to support the development of the thesis by deepening in the fields of Research Methodologies, Emergent Technologies and Emerging Economies.
MDEF02 students can select elective courses among a great variety of seminars and workshops shared with other second-year students from IAAC masters.
Technical skills
Students gain working knowledge across disciplines, from coding to digital fabrication, becoming proficient in a wide range of maker skills. MDEF also encourages students to critically engage with fields like foresight studies, exploring the impact of disruptive technologies such as blockchain, synthetic biology, AI, and digital fabrication on the creation of alternative presents. Students are supported to develop their own skill set, knowledge, and hybrid profile as designers.

“In my second week at MDEF during the Biology Zero class, I was already interested in biology, the expertise ignited my curiosity not just for fungi but for biology at large. I ventured into bacteria, exploring body energy and how it might influence fungi growth in different atmospheres. The design studio class also pushed me out of my comfort zone, encouraging new experiments, interventions, and perspectives.
I picked up many skills at MDEF that have been invaluable for the Myke Board. Fab Academy taught me fabrication skills like 3D modeling, mold-making, and woodworking, which I didn’t know before and would have been expensive to learn otherwise.”
