Internship
The Internship is organized as training experience to be performed by MSc Students in design companies, public administrations, consulting companies to implement knowledge and skills. The international internships provide the perfect opportunity to put into practice what MSc Students have learned during the Modules’ Lectures and Design Workshops. First class architecture firms, in both buildings and urban scales projects, are selected at national and international level. Students will be supported in their professional growth by top companies/industry professionals with a wealth of experience in the planning, design and construction of high quality projects in the different fields of Sustainable Architecture.
Aims
Sustainable Architecture Internships aim to give Students a well-rounded experience of every step in developing an integrated project experience in the different fields of Sustainable Architecture. They will acquire skills to plan and manage architectural projects reflecting functional, technical, environmental, and aesthetic considerations while also appreciating the pragmatic aspects, including scheduling, cost estimation, and construction administration.
The Internship is designed to stimulate MSc students to experiment the design process, experimenting the perfect opportunity to put into practice the new challenge of conscious design of the future:
-To provide students with a well-rounded professional experience sharing the practice with experts in the fundamentals of sustainability in architecture design.
-To implement students’ ability to put into practice the principles of bioclimatic design and the application of natural and innovative techniques for sustainable architecture and urban design.
-To provide students with the opportunity to put into practice their knowledge experimenting the professional involvement in the design process of a sustainable architecture.
- To stimulate students’ professional growth experimenting the interdisciplinary design team-work to implement the holistic approach of Sustainable Architecture, as well as the capacity to develop and assess a sustainable project.
Knowledge and Understanding Skills
The students will be able to put into practice their knowledge experimenting the architectural design process, investigating the concept of new sustainable and responsive architecture of the future.
They will be able to implement their teamwork capacity and professional growth, experimenting how the innovative green technologies, renewable energy, natural material could influence energy performance.
