The home has always recorded the changes that society, the economy and culture impress upon our daily lives. In the last ten years we have seen a profound transformation in the way we live and this presents new challenges for designing the home of the future. This master contains two distinctive areas of activity: the first involves a series of seminars and theoretical and cultural validations with contemporary historians, journalists, anthropologists, sociologists and artists who will help to trace the boundaries of domestic living in a variety of international scenarios. The second involves a series of project workshops with interior designers, light designers and experts in innovative and ecological materials who will help students build new design project scenarios. Each project will be executed as a real-life simulation in which the master program partners’ technical experts and managers will involve the students and work together to create experimental design scenarios. Model-making and advanced design software laboratories will complement the workshops in order to optimise project presentation skills.
