Course Details
The Master in Advanced Architecture considers architecture as a transversal field, for which it is imperative to integrate all research and applications with the knowledge of specialists from a diversity of fields of expertise. The Advanced Architecture Agenda establishes the responsibility to confront the process of global urbanisation from a multi-scalar and operational perspective, as well as through the development of prototypes that promote environmental, economic and social sustainability. The Master in Advanced Architecture program emerges as an innovative open structure, focusing on four select research lines (X-Urban Design, Self-sufficient Buildings, Digital Matter, Advanced Interaction) all led by internationally renowned experts.
