Program description
Master's Degree in Artificial Intelligence for Architecture & Design
As Artificial Intelligence is widely affecting all layers of human society and research disciplines, it is considered to be of fundamental importance to create a program that will prepare designers for that future situation.
The appearance of technologies such as Big Data, Robotics and Machine Learning in Artificial Intelligence has started a general debate about how the “Second Digital Era in Design” should be defined, and how Architecture must evolve to include new concepts into the design process.
Future architects will work as/or with computational experts for the new transdisciplinar design methodologies, if they are willing to lead architecture into the Artificial Intelligence era and the shift is producing in our current environment. A shift that will shape our relationship with space morphology, human behaviour, and social use.
Therefore, it is proposed a full-time intensive training in Artificial Intelligence techniques applicable to several types of designs’ processes, with flexible and annually updated contents that depend on the last Artificial Intelligence breakthroughs.
Admission requirements
University graduates (with or without work experience) with university studies preferably in Architecture, Urban Planning, Engineering or Design who wish to expand their knowledge regarding the new shift in the Architectural discourse, being trained in Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Algorithmics so the can become computational experts on new technologies.
Professionals that have an interest in improving their technological skills regarding the implementation of Artificial Intelligent processes in new design methodologies in working environments.
Required level of education: Graduate Degree or Bachelor’s Degree + University Master’s Degree. Approximate credit load: 240 ECTS.
