Education 

UPC Barcelona ETSAB, Barcelona, ES, Masters, Master in Advanced Studies in Architecture

The aim of the master's degree in Advanced Studies in Architecture-Barcelona (MBArch) is to train students in research, innovation and contemporary architectural design in a manner that is flexible and directed towards a specialisation. With an emphasis on expertise, erudition, tradition and professional practice, the Barcelona School of Architecture offers a comprehensive approach to a professional or teaching career in architecture.

My specialization, in Technological Innovation in Architecture, is to provide expertise in technological innovation and advanced knowledge and technical skills that can be applied to design and in teams working on research and innovation. Materials are changing very fast and today there are many new materials that architects do not know. A good knowledge is necessary for a new sustainable architecture.

Polytechnic of Turin, Italy, Turin, IT, MArch, Sustainable Architecture

The programme aims to provide all the cognitive tools necessary for an architect who will be in a position to manage entire design/planning processes with a focus on sustainability, interacting with other professionals involved and coordinating input.
It is divided into five multidisciplinary design ateliers, elective courses, internship activities and final thesis, focusing on integrating the various disciplines that make up the plan of studies. The multidisciplinary ateliers, through projects on appropriately defined issues, integrate different disciplines and expertise with a focus on project sustainability.
The Master programme in Sustainable Architecture is organised in four semesters, the last of which will be entirely dedicated to training and preparation of the dissertation (final exam).
The five ateliers, which take place in the 2 semesters of the first year and first semester of the second year, are designed to address in succession and at different scales of intervention the various themes that contribute to the design process:
- restoration of architectural assets, with a focus on knowledge and skills related to planning, conservation, refunctionalisation, management and promotion of architectural assets;
- urban planning, with a focus on expertise in strategies for organisation and management of territorial transformation processes and their social implications;
- architectural design, centred on competences in the aesthetic, distributive, functional, structural, technical-constructive, managerial, economic, social and environmental issues entailed in solving complex architectural problems, and critical skills regarding cultural changes and the needs expressed by contemporary society;
- design of building/plant systems, with a focus on expertise in materials and building and plant technologies and systems, as well as strategies for energetic-environmental optimization;
- financial assessment of design projects, with a focus on knowledge and expertise in issues of economic and financial feasibility of projects and organisation at professional, business and contractor level.
The training methodology involves the use of traditional and innovative cross-disciplinary tools, including workshops, integrated seminars and visits to professional firms. The last semester will include an internship to introduce students to the world of work, whether in the professional, administrative or building contexts, and preparation of the thesis under the supervision of an academic advisor
