The Master of Science in Architecture offers the opportunity to acquire
the most advanced theoretical knowledge and operative skills for the
practice of contemporary architectural design. Architectural design is
taught through its disciplinary foundations and is closely related with
technological innovation, environmental issues, models of territorial
management and the themes of restoration and reestablishment of the
historical, architectural and environmental heritage. The study programme consists of a series of theoretical lectures and design studios dedicated to arguments and methods of architectural design in its different forms (housing, services industry, culture, etc.) and scales (from interior design to the architectural structure all the way up to the urban and territorial plan).
