About this programme

Please read carefully the pages Requirements for access and enrolment and Personal background check The Architectural Composition course is held in English and is addressed to foreign and Italian students interested to study and work in an international context. Deepening the Italian architectural design culture and focusing on the central role of Composition: these are the tools proposed to deal with the discipline of architecture, which is a complex discipline, both because it changes every day but, at the same time, it has always been the same for thousands of years. Architecture can be learned in many different ways: by observing the world, reflecting theoretically on it, designing it, transforming it, or just describing it. The principal teaching model of the Master’s Degree in Architectural Composition is the workshop, deemed to be the most suitable way to become an architect. Architectural Composition prepares students to enter the world of international firms, aware of the cultural, technical, and social implications of the architectural production process, as architects who are confident in their role as projects directors and able to cooperate with the other specialists involved. We are building relationships with leading international schools to exchange students, teachers and share experiences. You can apply for funding to study in North and South America, Africa, and Asia, or to work in Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Paris. During the course you will attend an internship in one of the most important architectural offices of Europe.
