Title
Master in Integrated Architectural Design
Description
The logics of architectural design and construction are in continuous adaptation to the context in which they operate. Its systems of methods and principles are expanded to face challenges such as climate change, technological disruptions, economic collapses, geopolitical strategies, and demographic movements, among other imminent global challenges.
MIAD is a postgraduate course destined to review the most significant phenomena that affect our society, and to rethink them from environmental, social, digital, tectonic, and cultural logics that are oriented towards an evolved conception of architecture.
MIAD has an integrated approach to architectural design and research serving the areas of design, technology, and culture alike. MIAD is based on the visions that the international references are giving on the global context. For this, solutions and tools will be presented and taught to expand the logics that give imminent answers to common challenges.
