SPACES AND COMMUNICATION

Exhibition design - Space and graphic design - Urban design - Commercial design - Event design

This programme renews the links between spatial design, interior architecture, graphic art and signage. Enriched  by inter-disciplinary exchanges, it offers a new approach to design. In correlation with urbanism, plastic arts and architecture, which influence its reflective and creative processes and positioning, the Masters associates, without amalgamating them, graphic design and spatial design to create a completely new area of convergence. It promotes the creative and rigorous progress of students and the production of concrete and significant projects.

At the end of their course, students will be able to master the conceptualisation and the fabrication of signifying, commercial or museographic spaces and their resolution on a real-life scale.
