It is a design-themed university focusing on the teaching, research and practice in the design of living spaces and environments (buildings, cities, landscapes and territory) and in the design of everyday use objects, of fashion and of graphics.

Characteristic trait of the degree course in Architecture is the continuous comparison between theory and practice, between knowledge and know-how, which allows the student a constant verification of learning.

The degree programme in Architecture transmits to the student the cultural, methodological and technical knowledge that allows him, at the end of the three-year period, to work professionally with competence and autonomy; at the same time, it offers the educational bases to continue the studies in the master’s degree course.

The first year of the course identifies and provides cultural horizons and basic languages; the second year is dedicated to construction techniques and environmental control, while the third year is dedicated to the characterization of contemporary urban design.

The master degree programme in Architecture offers three thematic paths: Conservation, Sustainability and Interiors. The student can choose to organise around one of them the entire training path, or, alternatively, adopt a free study plan, combining the three paths based on their own interests, curiosity and attitudes.

The three prevailing thematic areas, as well as the paths on a free floor, give the opportunity to explore crucial issues for architecture, the city and the territory, contemporary projects of high specialization, which concern the entire human landscape, built and spontaneous.

The issues addressed range from the territory, to the innovation of materials, from the management of sensitive areas (historical and modern) to the resilient design and to the strategic themes of reconstruction, up to the interior design. This last path, from the cell of the house to the public space, is proposed this year for the first time since the master’s degree in Architecture.

Constituted in 2007, the Iuav School of Doctorate Studies is a multidisciplinary research institution offering a doctoral programme in architecture, city and design with 8 tracks:

  • Architectural composition
  • Design sciences
  • History of architecture and urban planning
  • Innovation for building and cultural heritage
  • International PhD
  • New technologies and information for the region and environment
  • Regional planning and public policy
  • Urbanism
  • “Villard d’Honnecourt” international doctorate in architecture

 

Every year some places are reserved for foreign candidates who are holders of scholarships granted by foreign universities, institutions or international mobility programs

  • Horizon 2020
