WELCOME TO THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED ARCHITECTURE OF CATALONIA (IAAC)
 

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) is an international centre for research, education, production and outreach, with the mission of envisioning the future habitat of our society and building it in the present. 

Based in Barcelona, the Institute offers multidisciplinary programmes that explore international urban and territorial phenomena, with an emphasis on the opportunities that arise from the emergent territories, and the cultural, economic and social values that architecture can contribute to today’s society.

IAAC sets out to take Research and Development to architecture and urbanism, and create multidisciplinary knowledge networks. To this end, the Institute works in collaboration with several cities and regions, industrial groups, research centres, including the City Council of Barcelona, the Collserola Natural Park, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Centre for Information Technology and Ar chitecture (CITA), the Southern California Institute of Architecture (Sci-Arc), as well as diverse companies among which CISCO, Endesa, Kuka Robotics and many others.

In collaboration with these entities, the Institute develops various research programmes that bring together experts in different disciplines such as architecture, engineering, biology, sociology, anthropology and other fields of investigation. 
IAAC has made a name for itself as a centre of international reference, welcoming students and investigators from over 60 different countries among which Australia, the USA, India, Brazil, Russia, Ethiopia, all European countries and many others.
