The course in brief Presentation ADD is the acronym of the Doctoral Course of the Department of Architecture and Design of (DAD) of the University of Genoa, a catalyst of experiences and research proposals, with clear innovative will, in the Disciplinary Scientific Sectors that have at their center the concepts related to the project, the product and their relationships with the current procedural transformations. Its objective is to address, in an interdisciplinary and multi-scalar dimension, the broad domain of the environment, socio-habitat space and the material and immaterial artifacts that define it, having as its focal element design activity in terms of process, tools, and cognitive and operational apparatuses, aimed at addressing the new phenomena of social, cultural, spatial and material change that influence the environments of our everyday life, in our perceptual, creative and design dynamics and their relationship with the information and knowledge society. Training Objectives. The educational activity of the Doctoral Program in Architecture and Design is divided into two curricula, i.e., two major subject areas inherent in Architecture and Design, which are strongly related to each other and aimed at addressing the broad domain of the built environment and the new social, spatial and instrumental processes that define it in an interdisciplinary character dimension. The course is proposed as a research laboratory and cultural platform, with a clear referential ambition at the national and international level. The innovation of the approach consists of proposing a teaching and research methodology that makes use of transversal and integrated disciplinary skills, on the basis of which to develop research themes associated with the following emerging issues: from city to territory and landscape from theory to criticism from technological systems to the needs of production from communication to analytical representation Professional outlets The outcomes of the training course are aimed at training the following profiles related to the following topics: organization and dissemination of research and creative design, with marked interdisciplinary predisposition for public and private research institutions management of complex project problems, in qualified professional, production and service contexts, or even in educational and cultural institutions expertise in innovative approaches related to new technologies, orientation and process evolution in the information society expertise in innovative approaches connected with new eco-efficient challenges, the study of bio-systemic applications, and clear expertise in issues associated with the environment, land, the new urban/rural (active/productive) landscape, and environmental assessment cultural and scientific dissemination, both in the area of new technologies and communication and in the area of multimedia product design, event and/or dissemination in all its levels Board of teachers Consult the list of members of the teacher's college International Collaborations The Doctoral Program has several established experiences of collaboration with universities and/or international research organizations:.
