Milan Program: Design is ONE

Organized by the Southern California Institute of Architecture, this 2-weeks field trip is open to students of architecture and professional architects interested in Italian Design.

The seminar is lead by SCI-Arc design faculty members Elena Manferdini and Ilaria Mazzoleni.

The class will research history, technical advancements, macro-trends, material and aesthetic properties common to architectural, industrial and fashion design. Participants will focus on understanding these disciplines within their historical and geographical context and discuss this interaction from a systemic and social perspective: participants will follow the development of design fields through a series of site visits to world leading Italian design factories (Cassina, Kartell, Ferrari, Ducati), designer studios (Mario Bellini, Piero Lissoni, Alessandro Mendini, Cini Boeri, Dolce e Gabbana) and cities (Milan, Bologna, Como) that shaped the design field at large in the past centuries.

Participants will travel to Milan, Italy from May 2nd to May 16th, 2010.

For information and inquiries regarding the total cost of the trip please email the contacts below. Participants must be 21 or older and hold an international health insurance.

A 1200$ down-payment is due by February 15th. This down-payment will be used to cover the costs for accommodation (Milan Youth Hostel International or equivalent), entry to the Museums, tickets for La Scala and local transportation.
