MADI
In pills
The university postgraduate degree is not to be confused with the numerous masters existing in the private sector: unlike these, in fact, the MADI confers a real degree.
Specifically, the II level master corresponds to level 8 of the European Qualifications Framework, such as the PhD or the specialization diploma
With ten years of history always sold out, MADI is the leading master of the IUAV university
They are now a real community, which sometimes meets. Some of them have come a long way and have also returned to the masters to teach.
MADI lessons take place at the architecture university, in the historic center, in Badoer (http://www.iuav.it/Ateneo1/Sedi/Sedi-venez/palazzo-Ba/) and online
Focus of the master is digital tools for architecture. Therefore, we will not talk about the project (it has been talked about enough over the years of study) but about digital tools to design, verify, communicate the project.
The modules will deal with polygonal and parametric modeling, traditional and real time rendering, post production, video animation, 3D scans and virtual and immersive reality.
Optionally there will be in-depth electronic prototyping, video projection mapping and 3d printing.
With the aim of offering both solid foundations and unconventional elements of disorder.
Here you can find the teachers of the X edition. Over the past nine years, we have hosted the best experts in the field of visualization and digital tools for architecture.
To name a few:
Michael Golden, Cristina Barbiani, Gael Nys, Enea Le Fons, Lasse Rode, Davide Rossmann, Keely Colcleugh, Ondra Karlik, Jonathan Gales, Paul Nicholls, Klaus Obermaier, Thibault Schwartz. Luis Fraguada, Johannes Braumann / Sigrid Brell Cokcan, Officine Arduino, Giancarlo Carnevale, Adam Lowe, Ryan Lintott, Jacinto Monteiro, Maurizio Galluzzo, Marco Canciani, Dimitar Dinev, Davide Del Giudice, Marco Brizio, Morphocode, Antonino Saggio, Fabio Gramazio, Alfa Smirna (Pixela 3d), Massimo Ciani, Flavio Albanese, Andrea Graziano, Matt Guetta, Andrea Pertoldeo, Mirko Camia, Giampaolo Savio, Leonidas Paterakis, Ján Pernecký ..
Our students are now practically everywhere: started as trainees or employees they are or have been at:
(architecture)
Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, RCR, Sauerbruch & Hutton, MVRDV, Fuksas, Chipperfield, Carlo Ratti, Patricia Urquiola, Boeri, Grimshaw, Satoshi Okada (…)
(Service)

There are those who have chosen to devote themselves to pure visualization, those who have opened their own studio, those who have continued on the path of architecture, those who have given themselves over to fashion, electronics, open society, etc.
In their Linkedin profiles, some describe themselves as follows:
3D Artist, Visualizer, Art Director, Jewelery Designer, Illustrator, Architect, Light designer, VR specialist, Interior designer, Lead 3D, Graphic designer, UX / UI designer, 3D Fashion designer, 3D Print specialist, Head of Edutainment Department, Professor in architectural design, 3D VFX Artist, Art historian, Set Designer, Revit Coordinator, Architect 3d prototyping, Theme Park Designer, Store Planner, Photographer, Garden Designer, Video artist […]
Former students are always involved in the activities of the master, they can come back to atend lessons on topics they want to deepen or that did not exist when they were enrolled.
MADI are MADI forever: from March to June about every 3 weeks there are aperiMADI, open update events; in June 2019 the first reunion of all exMADI; In the meantime, the community abroad is growing and in some studios three or four exMADI are working at the same time.
