Educational Objectives

Developing a high level of critical thinking is one of the program’s main goals. 
In addition to the development of excellent creative skills, priority is given to an understanding of the processes that lead to the formulation of projects that meet the highest standards of contemporary living while aligning with the growing needs of sustainability, inclusivity and interactivity.

The study plan begins with humanistic subjects such as art history, the history of architecture and of design, sociology and the semiotics of design. More specific subjects are then explored, such as the design of rooms and furnishings, home design, exhibit design, the design of sustainable processes, ergonomics and  the science and technology of materials. These subjects are supported by modelling laboratories and digital representation techniques, strengthening skills in technical design, parametric modeling, rendering and video-making.

Throughout the course, students have the opportunity to interact with the most important national and international businesses and organizations operating in the design fields, thanks to the partner network that IAAD. has developed over the years. 

A stimulating learning environment is cultivated by the teachers who are established professionals working in design fields. The course features presentations, company visits, workshops, seminars, internships and special projects, some of which are connected to educationally valuable important international events, such as those connected to the annual Milan Furniture Fair and Design Week.
