Master in Architectural, Urban and Environmental Design and Regeneration Using Innovative Technologies

The second-level Master in Architectural, Urban and Environmental Design and Regeneration Using Innovative Technologies is offered by the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples Federico II. It integrates multidisciplinary skills: integrated design, analysis of energy and material resources and urban resilience strategies, with attention to environmental aspects, sustainability and innovative technologies. The regeneration of the built heritage is one of the main challenges of contemporary architecture, between the need to reduce energy consumption and that of renewing existing buildings and neighbourhoods. The master addresses these themes with tools of integrated design and with the analysis of energy resources and materials.

The course takes place in person in Naples. The cost indicated is €1,500. Teaching is project-based: workshops and project work simulate complex cases of urban and environmental regeneration. The page does not report duration, credits, calendar or language; Italian is presumed. Teaching based on workshops and project work is consistent with the design approach of the course. These simulated cases make it possible to engage with complex problems, such as urban and environmental regeneration, and to work with innovative technologies. The page does not report the number of hours, attendance or the presence of an internship.

The aim is to prepare professionals for the ecological transition and digital transformation, able to manage complex projects both in new build and in the regeneration of the built heritage. The related professions are sustainable landscape architect, sustainable architect, urban planner architect and environmental project manager. The qualification is aimed at master's graduates in disciplines related to architecture and at professionals in the sector, and prepares for roles linked to the ecological transition and digital transformation. The related professions include sustainable landscape architect, urban planner and environmental project manager. The cost indicated is €1,500. Before applying it is advisable to compare this information with that published on the university's official website, which may be more up to date than the page. It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments. It may also be useful to ask whether information sessions or orientation days are held, in which lecturers present the course and answer candidates' questions. Finally, it is advisable to check the application deadlines and the documents to attach, because enrolment deadlines may be short and vary from one academic year to the next.
