The current economic and cultural environment, highly international and competitive, requires the training of professionals able to create innovative design solutions in terms of use, meaning and technological interpretation of buildings.

The Master focuses, therefore, on tackling design issues where the buildings are meant both as temporary products and as buildings in conversion of use, for which it is required an integrated approach typical of industrial design and construction design at the same time. In this approach it is possible to recognize economies of scale, repetition and series as well as compositional, expressive and technological qualities of traditional building sector.

In such a perspective of development, the designer, architect or industrial designer, is expected - in order to interface effectively with other professionals - to have skills in the production on large scale, standardization and compatibility of components and systems. These typical aspects of Industrial Design can be integrated with the educational background of Architecture.

The theme of the Master has an international ranging, is held in English and participants come from all over the world. At the same time, is deeply rooted in the culture of Italian design and architecture.
