Interior Design (Milan)

In the present global setting, where architecture finds it hard to balance the real standard of its use and
the eagerness for recognizability, Interior Design is searching for new stories to tell. Stories made of re-assembled sentences, come out of new fragments, and of re-assembled words, put into different contexts to get new meanings.
This course aims to mould highly skilled professionals capable of organizing an original yet functional environmental setting (Vision Concept). Interior Designers able to plan, control and simulate a coherent space, built through the coordination of all its operative phases into detail.

The course contemplates:

• the acquisition of an historical-critical knowledge of styles, trends and customs;
• the acquisition of a knowledge of 3D modelmaking and photorealistic simulation (Sketching and Rendering, Modelling Techniques; Software: Rhinoceros, 3D Studio, Photoshop, Flash);
• the construction, the critical examination, the organization and the communication of a spatial concept;
• the acquisition and constant updating of adequate technical skills and ability in choosing materials, processes and adequate technologies for the project in progress (Technology);
• the analysis and the control of human interactions, functional pertinence and other characteristics of an inhabited designed space;
• the acquisition and refining of the necessary communication strategies for the best presentation of the project to both a sectorial and non-sectorial audience.

Projects

This course envisages three projects that will be developed in collaboration with enterprises from the industry and world renowned teachers.
Their role lies in the commissioning of projects and as councillors offering know-how and technical support.
Visit to production sites will be organised.
