Description:
Throughout recent decades, interior spaces have played an increasingly important role in our individual and collective environments. The interior space is substance, living matter. Entering into it does not mean entering an empty space but becoming part of a large body. Interior design “activates” and enlivens the complex public buildings within our contemporary cities and gives meaning to public spaces, which represent the interior of the city itself.
The program is characterized by its extensive workshops, in which students face very challenging design tasks that are developed from an interdisciplinary perspective under the supervision of a small team of professors, each responsible for a distinct aspect of the project.
The program develops specific technical and methodological approaches to private and public spaces. The theoretical courses examine the historical and the present scenarios of the Italian design and include researches in the cultural innovation field. Finally, the creative workshops, in which students engage in practical design projects, are led by outstanding personalities in the fields of interaction design, communication design, and exhibition design.
Career Opportunities:
Design studios and companies employ MA in Design-Specialization Interior Design graduates to manage the design of spaces in home environments, commercial settings, manufacturing sites, and cultural venues, including museum, trade fair, and retail spaces. They may also design public spaces for important functions (such as offices, hospitals, schools, and universities), in addition to hotel spaces in an era of mass tourism.
