In contemporary life, museums and exhibitions have increasingly become more privileged places which bring together art, culture, architecture, old and new technologies and entertainments within the context of highly spectacular events: they become new extraordinary complex places of modernity, no longer destined to be mere repositories of works of art but places which amaze, amuse, interest and provoke emotions and sensations among images, the imaginary and the imagination. All this has fundamentally changed the traditional figure of the museum designer who is now placed at the centre of a complex creative process requiring a wide range of new competencies and professionalism together with increasingly more specific knowledge using all the languages and the instruments offered by many contemporary mediums. Students will work on technical exercises and projects; lectures, site visits and field trips are an integral part of the course curriculum. Prerequisites: Introduction to Interior Design Lab fee: TBA
