Introduction
Cities, territories, and rural and urban systems make up the built fabric that connects people and places. This milieu is constantly shifting due to geopolitical and cultural trends; perceiving it and changing it is a complicated undertaking. Change comes about thanks to strategies that transform the landscape, methodologies that regenerate urban areas, and design concepts that delineate public and private spaces. Architectural and urban design offer a means of envisioning possible futures and potential new ecosystems, that have their roots in theoretical research and dig
into the many facets of design.
The Master in Urban Vision & Architectural Design supports students as they develop relevant creative, intellectual, and technical skills through work in the architectural design sector. Using analysis of the landscape and of urban and rural settings as a springboard for studying society, students will discover a wide array of design-based strategies as they
explore different architectural approaches and develop solutions that address the needs of citizens and their culture, commerce, interrelations, and movement.
Furthermore, students will learn flexible and ingenious methodologies that they can apply to their work, to their critique of design, and the communication of their final landscape, urban, rural, and architectural design proposals.
Double Award Master
The Double Award Master PathMaster'sintoprogram andPathMaster allows students to obtain an Academic Master validated by the Italian MUR and a Master of Arts, with international validation in the UK from Regent’s University in London.
Students integrate additional lectures and a more in-depth individual project toallow their 5-module programme that includes the curricular internship and final project.
The UK validation gives students more international recognition of their course of study and the opportunity to obtain a Master of Arts Degree (90 ECTS) awarded by Regent’s University London that allows them access to most international doctoral programs.
Within their academic year, students enrolled in the Double Award Master’s Programme, have the opportunity to spend a week at Regent’s University London for a London study trip experience, with special teaching activities and visits to the most significant sites for creative trends. During their stay, students will have the opportunity to take part in tours to discover London’s most iconic places, museums and galleries. The one-week London study trip is not part of the Academic curriculum and, therefore not mandatory. It is subject to additional costs covering both the cultural offer and the trip.
