The UIC Masters Degree Programme in Biodigital Architecture was created in 2000 as a pioneering postgraduate programme, the first to tackle the subject of architecture from biological and digital perspectives, and the first to provide systematic study with the founders of digital organicism, at the cutting edge in the 21st Century.
Within the scope of the research line on genetic architecture in the ESARQ School of Architecture, students will pay special attention to new cybernetic-digital and ecological-environmental architectural design as a way of developing biodigital architecture, emergence, genetic and generative concepts in the biological and digital worlds, biomimesis, biolearning, morphogenesis, etc.
Students will also experiment with genetic driven software, evolutionary processes, emerging systems, algorithms, parametrics, scripting, etc. New technologies have provided us with new production opportunities (Data-Driven Production, CNC machines, 3D printers) that lead to new formulations of non-standard architecture based on genetic principles (variation, mutation, hybridisation): new architecture for new possibilities.
