The Master MDGAE prepares the future experts in environmental, social and economic sustainable design for a New Architecture that integrates sustainability strategies in harmony with architectural criteria. The objective is to impact positively on the environment and on the well-being and health of people. After 10 years, in an international context, this Master's degree offers innovative learning methods based on the interdisciplinary integration of sciences, arts and social disciplines.

The ISS issues focus on the principle of “impermanence” of contemporary living and the need to explore the construction of housing that can be built and dismantled quickly, made as autonomous from energy supply point of view, flexible in its use and establishing ever-changing relationships with places.

The ISS adopted a multidisciplinary approach to extend the possibility to deploy the architectural project with off-site development, energy assessment and according to urban planning rules.
