MCH: Master in City & Housing

I am thankful to MCH for the international exposure, professors and leaders that they bring into the course which fulfilled my expectations.

After completing more than the half of the program, I have to say that my expectations are being met. The format is mainly practical, and very very intense. The rhythm varies along the weeks and subjects, which allows each one to be organised according to their needs.

Despite the Covid crisis, MCH team have made an incredible effort to return to face-to-face lessons, making it possible to meet again and have the workshops all together. Working directly with classmates allows to learn directly from them and to complement lectures and reviews.

Given the experimental and reflective approach of the MCH, my participation was a qualitative step.

After attending lectures on housing at GSD Harvard, MIT, etc. I still consider that the MCH at ETSAM provides the best comprehensive educational framework regarding the multifamily dwelling.

I believe MCH course is a challenging course for the participants as it helps in the development of a holistic awareness of the topics concerning housing. I feel that it has fulfilled me as it has trained me to self-evaluate my design and trained with critical analysis of my decisions in bringing out the best deliverable.
