On the evening of 6 May 2011, IAAC held a special exhibition chronicling the 2011 MAA Research Trips. The exhibition featured research, videos and photos created by the students in the Master in Advanced Architecture program. The exhibition was held at the Corretger5 gallery in Barcelona.
Each year the MAA program takes its research out of Barcelona. Past trips include India, Romania, Taiwan, Slovenia-Croatia, and Brazil. This April each MAA Research Studio explored a different part of the world: RS1 Emergent Territories (Hong Kong), RS2 Self Sufficient Buildings (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) and RS3 Digital Tectonics (Germany, Switzerland).

IAAC staff from each Research Studio group kept us updated during their travels on Twitter, Facebook, and through the IAAC Blog. See the complete recap of where IAAC went and what the students learned each step of the way.
