designing atmospheres. next skills and qualities for spaces and interiors - ed.2

DIPARTIMENTO DI DESIGN

The master's course in Designing Atmospheres aims to open a dialogue between education, companies, professionals and users to design the multiple professional figures in the field of spatial design in the sense multi-scalar (from domestic to urban spaces), temporal and digital (hence multifunctional and extended), in the sphere of atmospheres involving all the senses and emotions. The Master intends to redesign the processes of conception, design production/construction, integrating new disciplines such as neuroscience, marketing, communication, graphics, set design, project and process management, supplier and client relations. This approach will help participants to build a portfolio, but also a network of contacts that will be fundamental for an international professional career. The Master Designing Designing Atmospheres includes: _Theoretical lectures on the cardinal themes of design and the new paradigms of space design - Outdoor exercises in collaboration with companies and professional studios on themes of process and project innovation _Workshops held by internationally renowned professionals within departmental laboratories and production centres of excellence _Study-tour of the Italian and international design system to get to know founding institutions and places of space design culture - international competition/challenge to measure one's skills on real design issues within internationally accredited contexts _Participation in Design Weeks _Training period in professional studios and companies with an international portfolio.

The Master's degree in Designing Atmospheres is aimed at graduates and young professionals who want to develop skills in the design of spaces and interiors that take into account the revolutions (technological, digital, social, cultural and environmental) that are radically changing the environments we inhabit. The paradigms of the senses, increasingly necessary for the experience/knowledge of places, and the new forms of time, multiplied by the digital revolution, will be the cardinal points of the Master's course. The Master's course will therefore aim to train participants in the design of atmospheres for spaces and interiors that refer to sensations, the sensory qualities of space and the perceptions and emotions of inhabitants and users. The Master's course also intends to integrate the classic skills of space design with those of emerging importance for designers such as client management, project communication, the use of media and digital tools, new technologies in design, but also behavioural psychology, neuroscience and extended experience, and the different life cycles of interior spaces, which are increasingly changeable and performative. Since the aim of the Master's course is to train professional profiles for the design of atmospheres that consider the new paradigms of the senses and time, the teaching staff will consist of both academics and researchers in the new fields of design, and internationally renowned professionals whose projects and professional work develop experimental approaches with consolidated and recognized results in the fields of atmospheres design for spaces, layouts and interiors.

The University Master's Course is reserved for candidates who have obtained a University Diploma, a Bachelor of Science or a Master of Science. Foreign will be considered valid as far as equivalent in their respective University System.
