The IAAC Global Summer School 2025 workshops and IAAC Nodes network are back. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) in Barcelona announced a new edition of the Global Summer School 2025 (GSS25), marking another milestone fostering global collaboration and innovation in architecture and design.
Over the years, IAAC has promoted meaningful knowledge and expertise sharing among architects, engineers, designers, and innovators worldwide. The GSS brings together students from diverse backgrounds to engage with IAAC’s network of experts and renowned lecturers.
This July, GSS proposes a unique blend of onsite and online workshops, offering its participants hands-on experiences at IAAC in Barcelona while ensuring digital accessibility through an agile online format accessible to a global audience.
GSS25 presents an immersive lineup of four workshops exploring advanced architecture and digital fabrication, advanced computation, urban data analytics and artificial intelligence. Led by IAAC Faculties and Alumni, these workshops promise innovative workflows and individual project exploration and development.
GSS students can tailor their learning journey opting for a two-week onsite workshop in Barcelona or selecting one or more online modules offered throughout July 2025, becoming part of a dynamic and challenging educational experience.
After 4 years, IAAC is glad to open its Global Nodes Network, strategic cities worldwide, boosting innovation by leading GSS onsite workshops led by IAAC alumni in diverse geographic locations. Applicants can therefore choose to join GSS in the preferred node - city - county!
All GSS25 courses include exclusive access to Global Lectures, weekly online gatherings featuring experts from the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry also connecting participants of IAAC nodes located worldwide. These sessions are designed to complement the workshop themes and provide participants with valuable insights and perspectives.
