// PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

IOEZ.LIVE offers a distinctive, online-only, year-long academic framework designed to advance research in digital architecture. Our curriculum is structured around a series of 'School of Thought' modules that emphasize 'observation' as a foundational critical thinking skill. Complementing these are annual modules focused on the mastery of communication and media-related technologies. The academic year at IOEZ.LIVE is structured into three main categories: CORE MODULEs, EVENT WORKSHOPS, and EXHIBITS.

CORE MODULEs: These form the backbone of the IOEZ.LIVE School, encompassing a comprehensive, week-long academic event held annually in the third quarter (Q3) of each year. This module is pivotal in teaching and intensifying our research agenda. It brings together global participants and collaborators, offering a deep dive into a blend of cultural and technological contexts. This single yearly module allows for a focused, in-depth exploration of innovative architectural concepts and practices, ensuring each session delivers maximum impact and relevance to current global challenges in architecture.

EVENT WORKSHOPS: Spanning the entire year, these one or two-day events address contemporary cultural debates, feature visits to key institutions, explore areas of high interest, and include sessions with renowned public figures and practitioners. These workshops also focus on teaching practical skills in media and technology, supported by online resources.

EXHIBITS: A vital component of our programme, EXHIBITS promote the work of our participants. Exhibitions are held annually at various global locations between July and August, showcasing the creative outputs from the CORE MODULEs and EVENT WORKSHOPS. Additionally, a physical publication documenting these works is produced and released each December, providing a tangible record of the year’s explorations and innovations.

// ELIGIBILITY

This programme is designed for architects, designers, technologists, and artists who are driven by a curiosity about the convergence of digital and physical realms. Participants who are eager to push the boundaries of traditional architectural practice and explore how emerging technologies can redefine our understanding of space and community.
Off-grid but online, we welcome creatives and thinkers from across all disciplines.
