PROGRAMME
The MSc promotes a cross-disciplinary and integrated design approach to apply the principles, methodology and tools for environmental responsive design, green architecture and dynamic - adaptive building, bridging the traditional gap between arts and the sciences, research and practice, developing critical thinking and design skills to challenge established practices.
The graduates from this program will implement knowledge and skill in the area of innovative sustainable architectural design: they will be able to develop more attractive sustainable building plan, more aesthetic solutions for renewables integration in building, more competitive real estate investment, and more soft-green solutions for urban retrofitting and resilience actions. The graduates will spend their expertise to analyze and to evaluate the building performance, as well as to define the building environmental quality assessment according to the international rating systems.
The annual Master teaching activity is organized in modules, in which issues latest developments.inherent to specific professional profiles are taught, taking into account their constant evolution.
