Studying
Architecture in Venice
Venice provides lifelong
inspiration. An uninterrupted tradition links Venice to its School of
Architecture. Such masters as Carlo Scarpa and Aldo Rossi taught at Iuav, were
affected by the beauty of the place and put it into their works.
Iuav caters for the needs
of rapidly changing professional environments.
It makes a commitment to
teaching design and planning as interpretations of spaces, knowledge of their
history and synergy of multidisciplinary competences and skills.
MA
Architecture Prospectus 2019
The English-taught MA provides education and
training for internationally oriented architects, in accordance with the
Directive of the European Parliament 2005/36/CE.
It gives students an excellent preparation for the
changing demands of society, both in the technical-scientific area and the
humanities. It teaches how to cope with present-day problems related to urban
and natural landscapes. It focuses on the conservation and
transformation of different architectural and urban contexts, with special
attention paid to environmental, economic and social sustainability.
MA Architecture prepares students to tackle pressing
architectural, urban and environmental issues in the national and international
scenes. It proposes updated visions of architecture and integrates them
with ideas from global culture.
It employs the most innovative techniques and
methodologies to train generations of digital natives. This also means
providing cross-disciplinary competences in:
– urban projects and theories on the city,
with their related issues of sustainable growth and sustainable decrease
– Italian cultural heritage and its
conservation through regenerative projects that can be applied to other
countries and contexts
– interior and exhibition design
– a global asset for today’s architects.
The Iuav Master in Architecture offers
student-centred learning through problematization, experimentation and critical
reflection by applying a variety of methods and practices to finally acquire
advanced skills and reach informed positions.
The modules taught in each semester are developed in
synergy. They are research-driven
in order to present design as a process of inquiry.
Each semester includes one integrated design lab and two theoretical courses.
Postgraduate
opportunities
MA students are highly qualified to hold important
positions in both national and international agencies. They can work in public
institutions, private practices and public companies in the fields of
construction and urban and regional planning.
MA is a prerequisite to take the Italian State Exam
to qualify as licensed architects.
Iuav Career Service helps postgraduates to find the
most suitable opportunities for internships and land future jobs, both in Italy
and abroad.
