Postgraduate Degree Accessibility and Design for All | 4th edition | ESARQ School of Architecture (Barcelona)
Currently when carrying out projects, designs, and new building constructions, renovations and extensions, we must respect among others, the requirements of the accessibility regulations. Through this course we will try to provide students with the necessary tools for you to analyze and understand the design for accessibility in spaces, pathways, elements, products and services of our environment; in order to not only know what is required by regulations, but to master all the details needed for the implementation of the "unnoticed accessibility " with normalizing criteria and designs for everyone, including handicap people. Ultimately the art of understanding, identifying, designing and facilitating: DESIGN FOR ALL.
Master’s Degree in Biodigital Architecture | ESARQ School of Architecture (Barcelona)
The UIC’s University Master’s degree in Biodigital Architecture was set up in the year 2000 as a pioneering postgraduate programme. The master deals with architecture seen from a biological and a digital point of view, bringing together the founders of cutting-edge 21st century “digital organicism”. This is done in order to develop concepts such as genetic and generative, the idea of emergence in the natural and digital worlds, biomimesis, biolearning, morphogenesis, etc. As part of this Master’s degree, students will experiment with genetic-driven software, evolutionary processes, emerging systems, algorithms, parametrics, scripting, etc. New technologies have provided us with opportunities for mass-customization production (Data-driven production, computer numerical control machines, 3D printers...), which lead to new formulations of non-standard architecture, based on evolutionary principles (variation, mutation and hybridation). Therefore, since it is founded within the “Genetic Architecture” line of research in the ESARQ School of Architecture, special attention is paid to undertaking projects related to either the cybernetic-digital or the ecological-environmental systems.
