Unique Experiment in Project-Based Learning

IUAV is a small university with an enrolment of approximately 6200 students. The number of students is limited to guarantee the quality of education offered. The academic staff includes 545 professors, 192 of whom are tenured or tenure-tracked and 5 non-tenured extraordinary professors. They are all highly acclaimed professors of different kinds of expertise, from over thirty countries of the world

What makes IUAV special is the emphasis it places on project-based learning. It is the only university in Italy entirely devoted to teaching the planning and design of everything related to the space and environment in which we live: buildings, cities and landscapes; objects of daily use and graphics; cultural, theatrical and multimedia events.

In recent years IUAV has implemented a unique experiment in “project-based learning”, the first of its kind in Italy. Theory and technique are integrated with hands-on training that spans the entire planning and design process, from the conception of an idea all the way through to its realization.

Studying at IUAV means living in an environment that is open to what is happening throughout the world. It means coming face-to-face with authorities in the fields of architecture, regional planning, arts and design. Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, Frank Lloyd Wright, Carlo Scarpa, Carlo Aymonino, Manfredo Tafuri, Vittorio Gregotti, Gino Valle, Aldo Rossi, Giovanni Astengo, Giancarlo De Carlo, Tadao Ando, and Richard Serra have all been part of our school’s history…, notes IUAV.
