Academy of Architecture of Mendrisio, Università della Svizzera italiana

The Academy of Mendrisio aims to create a "new" architect able to make sense of the territory, critically transform it without erasing its identity, respond to the demands of living space creatively and effectively. The study curriculum is built on the integration of design with historical-humanistic and technical-scientific disciplines.
The Academy of Architecture maintains relations and cooperates with numerous national and international institutions and schools, and is active in research, especially into the areas of history and urban studies.
