Program description
According to the MA in Interior Design program, space design is a team effort that may rebuild and reshape the bond between people, their environments, and the ecosystems to which they belong.
Understanding the connection between modern cities and the stories they tell is crucial when planning public gathering places, museum and exhibition spaces, cityscapes, and urban interiors. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, this course delves into the effects of interior project design on both society and the environment. Its goal is to critically examine changes occurring on a global scale in both built and non-built environments. As part of this program, researchers are working to create sustainable building systems and spatial gadgets. Eventually, these tools could be used for positive eco-social renewal. Workshops with experts in topics as varied as astronomy, ethology, and partying will help to broaden the project's scope and provide researchers a chance to try out new approaches and produce fresh results.

About the university
Since 1966, we have been the largest Higher Education Network in the creative area to keep both a worldwide perspective and a strongly Italian cultural matrix.
Our educational strategy has evolved over time, but at its core remains the same: we mix theoretical study with hands-on experience and the expertise of working experts. One of the things we emphasize in our classes is always thinking ahead, in the here and now. We are a diverse, multidisciplinary institution that views design as a tool for social transformation.
Among the many international academic networks in which we participate are Cumulus, Elia, and WDO, just to name a few.
Campuses
In the 1970s and 1980s, we expanded to Rome (1973), Cagliari (1984), and Turin (1989) in Italy.
Beginning in 1994 with the Madrid campus and continuing on to Barcelona in 2002, Spain's modern era began in the 1990s.
The Group also spread internationally, establishing a presence in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2005, and then in Venice, Italy, in 2007, Florence, Italy, in 2009, and Como, Italy, in 2009, with the acquisition of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts. The Group expanded its footprint in Brazil in 2014 by renovating the Cassino da Urca and opening a campus in Rio de Janeiro; in 2020, the Group will expand its presence in Spain by purchasing the Centro Superior de Diseo Kunsthal in Bilbao.
