The English-taught MA
provides education and training for internationally oriented architects.
It gives students an
excellent preparation for the evolving 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 to
environmental, economic and social sustainability.
This programme
prepares students to tackle pressing architectural, urban and environmental
issues in the national and international scenes.
It offers updated
visions of architecture and integrates them with ideas from global culture. It
employs the most innovative techniques and methodologies to
traingenerations 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 de-growth;
– 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.
