Design NABA – New Academy of Fine Arts

Overview

In the BA in Design at NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti you’ll develop more sensitivity and passion for the world of objects: the cultural artifacts that both reflect and shape human life. You’ll also explore interior space, examining its interactions with objects and its function as a stage for individual and collective rituals.

Following a “learning by doing” approach, the BA in Design integrates theoretical studies with experiential workshops. You’ll investigate theories of color and form and learn new design tools and techniques, from manual drawing to 3D modeling. You’ll discover how to anticipate contexts of use, translate these into formal solutions, and choose suitable manufacturing methodologies. You’ll also determine aspects of product marketing and distribution.

As you interact with people in various design roles, you’ll get a feel for the industry and make important connections.
