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.
Future visions are always uncertain and involve a lack of action. Instead, the logical concepts that we address in the MIAD will be exemplified with specific practices that have already been being applied for over a decade, as I have mentioned. I do think about the future, yes, but the imminent future, the one that requires immediate action. In what is already being done and what must be considered for tomorrow.
