Design Studies
The course teaches students the history of contemporary art/design looking as it develops. The skills provided aim at transmitting the understanding of the design process on various scales – from the object of artisanal/industrial production to communication artefacts and the urban dimension – in strong relation with its context. Lastly, students will be evaluated both on their understanding of the material but also on their ability to analyze the design implications for presenting the contemporary arts to the public. 
Part of the course will be dedicated to a seminar on Advanced Art History that will outline the main trends of contemporary art. The designers will therefore understand the opportunities  for presentation and valorization offered by the design for contemporary arts. The seminar will be based on readings and the study of great designers and artists. Museum visits and meetings with contemporary artists will be integrated into the syllabus.
