TAUGHT IN ENGLISH \/ 1 WEEK \/ 6-10 JULY 2026 \/ ON CAMPUS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Explore the world of Interior Design, in collaboration with FMA Architects<\/h3>\n

 
\nRome is the city of history, monuments, rituals, and the succession of ages distinguished by forms, magnitude, materials, and colors.
\nThis workshop will allow you to enter a timeless dimension, in which interior design is elaborated through pre-digital techniques and the use of materials, colors, and shapes.<\/p>\n

You will be immersed in a unique place, working in a real material library on the main floor of a 16th-century palace in the very center of the eternal city. You will learn hands-on techniques – and how to mix them – to design and visualize timeless living spaces, through an intense journey of case studies, images, exercises, sketching, brainstorming, and external visits.<\/p>\n

Starting from the analysis of the ancient Roman Domus<\/em> (the Latin word for house), you will design an original space taking advantage of different techniques: pencil fast sketching, watercolor painting, collage, mood board, material board, and color scheme.<\/p>\n

At the end of the course, a certificate of attendance is issued to those who have attended at least 80% of the lessons, for a possible recognition of 2 ECTS.<\/p>\n\n
