<p>With the proliferation of biennials, museums, and artistic institutions, the Area responds by developing new professional roles designed to engage with a wide range of experimental practices and new media.</p>
<p>Through the Bachelor's Degree, the Master’s programs, and the Specialist Degree, the Area adds to the historical figure of the artist the roles of exhibition curator, art critic, editorial director, museum installer, film festival curator, commercial gallery director, private collection director, and art consultant.</p>
<p>Contemporary art is no longer a single discipline but an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural methodology that emerges from an in-depth exploration of the aesthetic, social, and economic contexts in which the new artistic subject operates, embracing the challenges of the future.</p>
How do we respond to the challenges of contemporary art? Why choose to produce and curate art today?

Design
<p>The ultimate goal of studying design is to acquire a method, the ability to face the complexity of the world and to imagine and design the future—a better future.</p>
<p>Through project-based study, the Design Area, across its Bachelor’s, Specialized Master’s, and Academic Master’s programs, provides students with the theoretical and practical skills to think multidisciplinarily about complex concepts, adapt to change, and envision future scenarios. Today, it is fitting to talk about “social design”: a humanistic design that places humans back at the center of everything, in a reciprocal relationship with society.</p>
<p>In constant dialogue with faculty and industry professionals, students have the opportunity to build their own path, to follow their personal inclinations, and to learn to manage the complexity of a process, which is as important as the results achieved.</p>
<p>“If I had to teach, I would tell my students how moving the things of the Acropolis of Athens are, whose superior greatness they will only understand later” (Le Corbusier).</p>
What does it mean to study design today? And how can we explain design education without falling into the clichés of "designing things or spaces"?
