Profile of the programme

The training purpose is to integrate historical-critical and technical-engineering knowledge, according to a didactic approach that conceives design as a synthesis process and a fundamental moment of building construction. The traditional skills of engineers, in the structural and technological field, are integrated with those typical of architects, in architectural and urban design, including the recovery of the existing building heritage, the restoration and conservation of the historical-monumental heritage.

Programme learning outcomes

Through the tools of architecture, building engineering and town planning, our graduates are able to design and direct the construction stages, the transformation and modification of the physical environment, in full knowledge of the aesthetic, distribution, functional, structural, technical-constructive, management, economic and environmental aspects as well as with critical attention to cultural changes and the needs of contemporary society. They prepare projects and direct their realization, coordinating other specialists and operators in the fields of architecture, building engineering, urban planning and architectural restoration.

Qualification requirements and regulations

The Master concludes with a final test which consists in the drafting and subsequent discussion of a thesis, analytical or practical design, by the student, developed in an original way under the guidance of one or more supervisors, one of whom is a professor or researcher of the University. The tutors and co-tutors can be Italian or even foreigners. Access to the final exam is allowed to the student who has achieved the total of the ECTS credits indicated in the Curriculum (Manifesto) of the Master for training activities other than the final exam.
