- Deepening the ability of identification and prioritization of the design parameters that influence the design process
- Acquiring a theoretical approach, well based for the preparation and drawing up of their own design themes
- The completion of all phases of study, in order to finalize a complex architectural project: from the concept and context to the architectural expression
- Analysis of the dialogue between tradition, identity, performant technology and sustainability
- Development of the intuitive skills of the students for materializing the unity of expression and style in architecture
