Course General Description

The goal of the Master’s Degree in Interior Design is to develop project expertise in order to enable a response to the many expectations and desires of the designed spaces future users. There is a constant search for contact with the reality of the market, through partnerships with industrial and real estate companies. By using the past as a resource, not as an obstacle to the update of the everyday functions, the privileged framework of the intervention of the project is the rehabilitation of spaces. It is also a space for experimenting and of a constant relation with the project’s materiality; through self-developing workshops, we will promote an attitude of making, seeking to ensure a return to the manual dimension in addition to the intellectual dimension.
