The Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science, hereinafter “L”) in Architectural Design provides knowledge of architecture in its logical-formal, historical, aesthetic, constructional, technological and representational dimensions. Architectural design covers different areas and scales: the city, the countryside, the building, the built environment and the interior.
The programme is distinguished by the central role of the design experience and is based on the integration and synthesis of different subject areas. It seeks to foster synergy between laboratories and courses for the study of architectural subjects in their humanistic, artistic and technical-scientific dimensions, along with those that complement and expand the architect's areas of expertise. A traineeship rounds off the training.
At the Piacenza Campus, the L in Architectural Design shares objectives and learning outcomes with the programmes available at the Milan and Mantova sites. During the third year, in line with the Campus' cultural agenda, the teaching experience of the Final Design Laboratories and the elective courses will focus on the themes of environmental sustainability and landscape and open space design.
At the Piacenza Campus, in addition to the programme in Italian, a parallel programme is also offered that is entirely taught in English, with 50 places reserved for students from non-EU countries and 50 places available for Italian students and students from other EU countries. The English language programme also features the participation of international Visiting Professors.
Graduates in Architectural Design are offered professional opportunities in institutions and organisations, public and private companies, professional studios and design companies. After passing the State professional examination, a graduate in Architectural Design can register with the Ordine degli Architetti, Pianificatori, Paesaggisti e Conservatori (National Association of Architects, Planners, Landscapers and Conservators), in Section B for the architecture category, with the title of Junior Architect.
