DOMUS ACADEMY: ABOUT US

Domus Academy was born in Milan in 1982 as an open project around the Italian design and fashion experience. During the years, DA also asserted its importance as a school, in the full meaning of the term: a place of post-graduate training and research laboratory on the processes of industrial creativity, on the aesthetic and consumption scenarios, on space and time relationship, on the form of public and private services and on the radical changes deriving from the diffusion of the "Web".

Strongly rooted in Italy, Domus Academy works in an international perspective, in order to enrich, spread and update the design culture. Domus Academy is a real point of connection between design, fashion and management culture.

Domus Academy has been representing for more than 20 years a cultural laboratory, a cultural centre and it is one of the most prestigious Italian post-graduate schools in the fields of design and fashion.

A constant research carried out on the themes of consumption and creative processes along with the numerous and hectic changes of the last years led Domus Academy to organise more and more specialised courses able to satisfy the needs of the international market. Today, the school boasts 8 Master courses as well as several short courses.
