Overview
The MA in Architecture from Iuav University of Venice offers students excellent preparation for the changing demands of society, both in the technical-scientific area and the humanities. It trains how to cope with present-day problems related to urban and natural landscapes while focusing on the conservation and transformation of different architectural and urban contexts, with particular attention to environmental, economic and social sustainability.
The MA in architecture prepares students to tackle pressing architectural, urban and environmental issues in the national and international scene. It offers up-to-date perspectives on architecture integrated with global culture ideas.

This also means providing cross-disciplinary competencies in:
- urban projects and theories on the city, with their related issues on sustainable growth and degrowth;
- Italian cultural heritage and its conservation through regenerative projects that can be applied to other countries and contexts;
- interior and exhibition design – a global asset for today’s architects.
