The Department

The Department of Architecture and Design (dAeD) was born in 2024 from a new configuration and organization of the Department of Architecture and Territory (dArTe), triggered by the deactivation of the Department of Heritage, Architecture and Urban Planning (PAU), the consequent transfer of the related educational offer and of the majority of teachers, researchers and PTAB (June 2024), and the renewal of the departmental governance with the election of the new Director Prof. Consuelo Nava (July 2024).

The new name “dAeD”, approved by the Senate and Board of Directors with DR n. 417/2024 of 05/12/24, at the request of the Director following the resolution of the Department Council of 6 November 2024, enhances the scientific-disciplinary identity of the renewed department and constitutes a new beginning.

The dAeD promotes, coordinates and manages basic and applied research (experimental and pre-industrial), training, technology transfer with reference to the areas of architectural and urban design, urban planning and landscape design, design and restoration, enhancement and management of architectural heritage and design, technology and innovation.

The dAeD recognizes in Teaching one of its central missions, a strategic activity through which it contributes, within the Mediterranean University, to the training of architects and designers. These are the two figures who, operating at different scales, in national and international contexts, aim to pour into society a contribution of high professional, cultural and ethical profile.
