MASTER IN INTERIOR DESIGN

Course Overview

The Master’s in Interior Design aims to train professionals who are able to interpret and design space and implement creative solutions, and who know how to design enclosed spaces, private homes, commercial establishments, workplaces and exhibition spaces.

The Master’s programme responds to the training needs that are increasingly in demand in workplaces that value a systemic design approach, and therefore has as its objectives:

• the acquisition and refinement of analytical and personal skills to investigate the relationships connecting space and the physical realm, between the three-dimensional context and inhabitant;
• the creation of a “critical consciousness” toward the principal formal, compositional and material contents of a space that can be defined by the generic term “interior”; 
• the development of a precise awareness in merit of the psychological and behavioral repercussions generated by the compositional and technical choices of the project;
• the development of the faculties inherent in the intellectual conception of a space and its architectural composition;
• the identification and enrichment of individual talents and preferences in the creation of personal, autonomous and strongly identity-based courses of study;

The evolution of how we live and work as a result of the pandemic requires a different approach; movements such as digital nomads or city depopulation open up new perspectives in new contexts and consequently new opportunities for those who design spaces.
