THE IDEA THAT CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN CAN ONLY COME FROM ARCHITECTS WHO REMAIN UNTOUCHED BY THE CONSTRAINTS OF BUSINESS OR FINANCE IS NOW OBSOLETE. IN FACT, CONTEMPORARY PRACTICE HAS SHOWN THAT ALTHOUGH EXCELLENCE OF DESIGN IS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS, IT IS BY NO MEANS THE ONLY REQUIREMENT. Business acumen and management know-how now play a key role in the success of an architectural practice. The Master in Architectural Management and Design bridges the gap between advanced design and the management skills that are essential to succeed in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry today. This multifaceted program is designed to cover the specific needs of professionals who already have a sound working knowledge of theoretical and applied principles, and now wish to acquire and apply business expertise in the field of AEC. Today, many professionals in architecture, design and in other creative fields are inhibited from progressing and expanding their influence due to their inability to effectively use business tools and vocabulary. Furthermore, students can expect to develop their interpersonal skills through hands-on practice and extensive teamwork.

4 / 5

Dear Prospective Student, One of the most exciting and promising conditions of our time is change. The world grows and innovates faste r than e ve r b e f o r e, p u s h e d by leading companies, teams and individuals. Design in general, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) fields, and many other related ones are experiencing deep transformations at all levels. Traditional and widely accepted models of design production used to put little attention on anything beyond the act of designing and its direct implications. Today, our impact as professionals increasingly depends on our understanding across disciplines, innovation-driven dynamics and team structures, value creation and communication, finance and strategy, and technology as the basis of business model generation. As outstanding professionals, your companies will perhaps be the most complex and essential design of your lives.

while taking this course, together with the master’s strong orientation towards practice and entrepreneurship are unique aspects that make the Master so appropriate for today´s world. The Venture Lab will allow you to test and develop your personal or company skills and projects in a real and practical way, with views to directly applying what you have learned. The Master in Architectural Management and Design experience is a solid combination of online periods and face to face periods in Madrid and London, hosted by the Royal Institute of British Architects. The weeks that students and faculty are together in the classroom create numerous opportunities to discuss what has been learned in the online periods, to push forward the ongoing venture projects, and provide an intense experience of team learning and collaboration, which is essential in our time. Join the Master in Architectural Management and Design, and become a leader, in a world where the impact and awareness of design are growing exponentially. We look forward to working alongside you.

The Master in Architectural Management and Design –MAMD– is specifically oriented to create leaders in this context. Close collaboration between IE Business School and the School of Architecture & Design brings together entrepreneurial spirit and world-class expertise in management and strategy, with excellence in design. The Master is not only unique for its content, but also for the thriving and diverse community that constitutes its essence and for its blended format, in which IE is a leader. The capacity to combine professional work, research or other interests

Sincerely, Jerónimo van Schendel Director of the Master in Architectural Management and Design

• Cost Control and Design

Since its inception, IE Business School has embraced the entrepreneurial spirit as a core value, and is now an international reference in the field of entrepreneurship. In fact, the School itself was founded by entrepreneurs, and the entrepreneurial spirit is an integral part of its day-to-day fabric. In this first module, students learn how to develop a compelling business model. They are encouraged to come up with new venture ideas, form teams with colleagues and spend several months developing business models that are “investor ready.” For many, the culmination of this exercise is a reality check of their business models, while for others it is the beginning of turning these ideas into their future entrepreneurial ventures.

• Marketing and Design This module provides students with a foundation in general management which helps them build a solid foundation for the in-depth exploration of an organization as a whole, not just as a sum of its parts. Most areas of management are case studies using practical examples, which deal with real or fictional problems that may arise in different company contexts, and are analyzed from global or national perspectives.

• Computational Design • Building Information Management The third module addresses how design decisions have business implications and vice versa. It also provides advanced design skills and state-of-the-art software knowledge to be applied in a multidisciplinary integrated practice. In London, as part of the Architects Backstage series, students attend lectures with architects representing top practices such as Foster + Partners, AHRGlobal, Chipperfield, OMA, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, GENSLER and Zaha Hadid Architects. Each one of these practices excels in coupling management and design strategies and shares with students their experience of the back office work needed to achieve outstanding design.

• Project Management

• Venture Lab

• Technology Management • Managing Legal Issues

VENTURE LAB PRESENTATION

During this module, a more in-depth approach is explored through the techniques of strategy implementation in multinational organizations, to provide students with the necessary tools to adapt to an environment of constant change.

The program culminates with the Venture Lab, which allows students to conceptualize their own architectural businesses through a business plan that integrates all their recently acquired management and design skills. As opposed to the standard practice of judging purely design and technical excellence, the Venture Lab extends criteria beyond the project’s design to include critical business aspects such as marketing, finance and strategy, among others.

SOFT SKILLS LAB

VENTURE LAB PRESENTATION

Students have the opportunity to participate in innovative workshops in areas such as team building and effective communication, virtual collaboration, and decision-making that will push them beyond their comfort zone and expose them to real-world professional situations.

During the last face-to-face period in Madrid at the end of the program, students will have the opportunity to present their Venture Lab projects to a panel of experts including architects, business angels and IE Business School professors, where they will receive valuable feedback.

• Human Resource Management

Online learning sessions run for one week and comprise 3 main phases:

• 5 sessions a day.

1. Individual preparation: reading cases, chapters, technical notes, etc.

• 1 hour session of group work per day. • All sessions take place in Madrid and London.

IE School of Architecture and Design

Architects Backstage Students also meet top-tier, internationally recognized architecture and design professionals who share real world experiences through specialized lectures. Students have a unique opportunity to learn from practitioners about the processes and strategies that have helped shape their careers to achieve excellence. Featured speakers in past intakes included Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid and OMA.

2. Group discussion and assignment: Case discussion and completion of the group assignment as indicated by the professor. 3. Live Videoconferences: every Friday from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., students participate in online sessions which allow both professors and students to transmit audio and video material live via webcam. This makes the online learning experience as rich as the face-toface experience. 4. Online forum: There will be, case discussions from Monday to Thursday each week, allowing students and professors time to read and assimilate the opinions posted before submitting their own well-thought-out written comments to the forum. Several discussions are held in parallel, facilitating links among the different aspects under discussion, thus enriching the learning process. As the online campus runs actively 24/7, you can choose the time to participate that best suits your schedule. The online discussions are moderated by the professors, who guide students’ opinions in order to obtain the best possible results for each case.

FINAL PROJECT IE VENTURE LAB

IE School of Architecture and Design

Master in Architectural Management & Design

12 / 13

The IE Venture Lab serves as an essential part of IEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrepreneurial fabric by providing a unique opportunity for students and alumni to develop their entrepreneurial skills.

During the final term, students of the Master in Architectural Management and Design develop their final project in the Venture Lab. They integrate much of the material covered throughout the entire program, and through their own research, discussions and creativity, they shape and plan new business ventures. Preparing, writing, and presenting a business plan is a useful final project, not only for those who are looking to launch their own businesses, but also for those who perform any management role that demands opportunity identification and execution. A special panel of experienced professionals gives valuable feedback on each project. Many of our students have even taken a step further and put into practice the business venture they developed during this program, turning ideas into reality. Every year, the student with the best proposal wins an award. Here are some of the projects:

ATELIER MEL, by student Maria Ruiz Pardo

G-CAMPUS, by student Elvira Conejero

Atelier MEL designs and manufactures exclusive art pieces, combining the most advanced digital design technologies with ancient artisan glass techniques. A young team of architects, engineers and glass artisans started the project in 2014 with the purpose of rethinking the glass tradition to take it one step further. Based in Spain, the country where all its products are manufactured, it soon expanded its market overseas. Currently Atelier MEL develops projects in the USA, China, India, the Middle East and Europe.

G-CAMPUS is a global platform that aims to move one step beyond conventional architecture practice by improving Genslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance internally. A new model of internal communication and collaboration is proposed at local and global scales, updating existing content and programs by adapting them to the new technologies and new design strategies. This is always based on Genslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture, which it has been able to maintain throughout its history and growth.

If you decide to join us at IE, you will be part of more than a master’s program. Your learning will go beyond classroom training; it will extend to a rich array onand off-campus activities, and the cultural and professional life in the excellent city of Madrid.

• Madrid is the capital of Spain and Europe’s fourth-largest city. It is the epicenter of Spanish culture, business, and politics. • IE’s campus is around 20,000 m2 in size, spread across 17 buildings strategically situated in the Salamanca neighborhood, in the heart of the city. • Spanish is the native language of 500 million people worldwide and the world’s second business language. Learn it or improve it for free at IE, through extracurricular classes on campus. • Madrid is strategically located in the center of Spain, the core of Europe, connecting all major Spanish cities and international destinations. You can travel throughout your student years all around Europe, on short trips with affordable flight fares.

• Madrid is the foremost financial and industrial center of the country. It is home to Spain´s largest stock exchange, and to important national and international companies. • Madrid´s geographical location gives it a priceless advantage: an excellent climate. Enjoy the weather with a pleasant stroll on a sunny winter day, or sit down and enjoy the spring breeze in one of the many “terrazas” (café terraces). • Madrid is also known for being a city that never sleeps. Every night you can enjoy hundreds of shows, bars, restaurants and nightclubs. • Although Madrid is one of the top 5 cities in Europe, it is distinguished as offering affordable living and good prices for social, cultural and gastronomic experiences.
