California College of the Arts, Masters of Advanced Architectural Design (MAAD) in Digital Craft, 2 Semester(s)

The Master of Advanced Architectural Design (MAAD) is a one-year STEM-designated post-professional degree. Specialized for advanced students and mid-career architects, our curriculum emphasizes research and design through mentored study and a sequence of interdisciplinary electives. We offer three distinct areas of concentration: Digital Craft, Experimental History, and Urban Works.

You'll focus on one area during an intense year of advanced study that prepares you for a range of 21st century design challenges. The MAAD Digital Craft concentration focuses on contemporary digital design technologies and digital craft. You'll get both broad and in-depth exposure to contemporary topics such as parametric design, advanced computation, digital fabrication, robotic techniques, and building information modeling.

During your first semester, you'll develop a specific research trajectory. You'll integrate digital design concepts with fabrication and prototyping tools in your second semester to realize a full-scale project.
