Yacht Design (Venice)

Yacht Design programme is tailored to train professionals capable of governing the process of designing and building a boat, from concept to shipyard construction, mastering every step of the executive phase.
This master, (intended for graduates in architecture, design and engineering), will function as a dynamic workshop: training will be focused on providing both a solid technical and cultural background in the yacht area (theoretical and technical tools), and skills related to the design process itself and to experimentation with new materials.

Thematic areas

Intended to cover the various disciplines implicated in yacht design and marine lifestyle, they include: Materials and Technologies, Construction Methods and Systems, Environment and Sustainability, Regulations and Certification, Computer Aided Design and most important Design trends.

Granted the theme and interlocutors, that will comprehend designers, companies, exponents and representatives of the yachting world, important space will be given to seminars, lectures, visits and workshops, whose aim is to complement and complete the course curriculum, as well as offer opportunities of discussion.
