The Academic Master is an experiential journey to research and analysis of the features of the Italian Design. An intensive programme which combines theory, knowledge and method, workshops and meetings with the main players in this field to explore the most advanced edges of the Italian approach to projects. The course trains professionals able to pick up on and lead trends at an international level, contributing to both innovation in industrial production, and development of new aesthetic visions and cultural values.
Over the Master, students will have the opportunity to:
To acquire the know-how of Italian Design through the study of functional and expressive features behind that, to develop a personal expressive and professional language
To develop the ability to combine project decisions in a wider vision of management and enterprise processes
To activate a dynamic inclination to the connection “problem setting/problem solving”, developing an independent method of critical and operative analysis
