  Location

The modern-day architect is called upon to develop innovative forms of expertise that will enable them to work on several fronts: from designing a building to modelling a territory, from the reuse of historical heritage to landscape redevelopment, from environmentally sustainable constructions to the esthetic exercise required by the diverse forms of architecture. For these purposes, the Academy of Architecture of Università della Svizzera italiana – School of excellence recognized worldwide – has developed an interdisciplinary educational model, going beyond the traditional specialisations and forming ‘generalist’ architects that are well suited to our times. At the Mendrisio campus, the practical learning that is carried out in the design studios under the supervision of acclaimed international architects is complementary to the technical-scientific courses covering current issues and humanistic lectures on history, philosophy and sociology. Thus, the future architects of the Academy acquire a disciplinary culture with an open and critical view, enabling them to choose, in the course of their studies and thanks to the direct contact with the professional environment, the more appropriate specialisations for their individual sensibilities.
