IAAD. – INSTITUTE OF APPLIED ART AND DESIGN – is one of Italy’s and Europe’s principal centers of training and higher education in design.
IAAD. is a community that cultivates dialogue among people and respects each individual and their differences.
We feed curious minds with the courage to dare, to fail, to search for original solutions and to rewrite the rules.
We research the depths of human culture to uncover the principles that guide the art of design so that we can then teach them.
We believe in the power of imagination to redesign reality.
Our approach to teaching is both cultural and practical, and student-centered.
The course is created around individual and group thesis projects, with the objective of creating a portfolio that will become a passport to enter professional life.
