Beschreibung des Angebots

Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) ist eine Nachdiplomausbildung der Hochschulen und entspricht mindestens 60 ECTS-Punkten.

The MAS ETH in Architecture and Digital Fabrication teaches advanced methods and technologies at the forefront of digital design and fabrication and their implementation in architecture and construction. With a focus on computational design, robotic fabrication and 3D printing, projects and assignments enable students to develop strong design concepts and realise large-scale prototypes using the unique robotic construction facilities and 3D printing laboratories at ETH Zurich.

Courses are designed not only to teach a thorough understanding of computation and digital fabrication in architecture but also to foster students’ understanding of how new technologies, materials and processes contribute to an advanced and sustainable construction culture. 

The MAS is run jointly by two co-organizing Chairs: DBT - Digital Building Technology, and GKR - Gramazio Kohler Research.

Structure:

The MAS in Architecture and Digital Fabrication is a comprehensive one-year full-time programme. It is structured in trimests:

  • Trimester 1 - Skills:
    The first trimester is dedicated to skilling and teaching.
  • Trimester 2 - Design & Fabrication:
    The second trimester is dedicated to designing and building at 1:1 scale.
  • Trimester 3 - Individual Master Thesis:
    In the third term of the MAS programme, students focus on developing their own research thesis, working individually or in groups of two.

Structure and format: one academic year (1'500 - 1'800 hours of study)
