Capture, interpret and project: theories and thoughts at work in architecture and design.

ADI600Research Seminar in Design
3 credits    |    Pré-requis: ADI540
The seminar develops research related themes: the students must choose their problem and then decide their solutions, creating an end ­of ­study supervised personal project. They are also required to create a bibliography related to their investigations and attempt to answer all questions arising from the chosen subject. Thus, the seminar has both theoretical and experimental dimensions, allowing the students to build analyticals and research their own methodological tools.
