MASTER SCHOLARSHIPS IN ITALY

Master Politecnico di Milano

ID4A – Master in Industrial Design for Architecture 1st level – 1st edition in collaboration with Giugiaro Architettura

A vast range of design phenomena and dynamics that imply knowledge and skills borrowed from ambits other than “architecture tout court” can be seen in today’s panorama of international architecture. For instance, the architectural trend towards reconversion, by which old buildings are transformed and given over to new functions, forces the designer to elaborate design and construction solutions which presuppose a knowledge of serial production and industrial procedures typical of a scale economy. In the same way, designing the kind of temporary structures needed by special contexts such as fairs, exhibitions or top level sporting events requires not only specific formal characteristics but also the kind of assembly/disassembly rationale typical of Industrial Design.
