"The growing concern for sustainable development and climate change motivated the b irth in 2010 of theMaster's Degree of design and management Environmental of Buildings with the goal to train experts in environmental, social and economic sustainability; in design of sustainable and regenerative buildings; in Quantification of sustainability (energy simulation and life cycle analysis); and in Validation of sustainable architecture (building monitoring and environmental certifications).  

During this time we have worked hard to position this program as a Master's Degree of reference letter, based on 4 differentiating pillars: design and quantification of sustainability, international projection, cooperation with business, and innovation through research. Since its inception, Master's Degree has prepared its students to function in an international environment and to work in multidisciplinary teams.

The name of Master's Degree underlines what is the goal we are pursuing: the environmental dimension is inherent to both the architectural design and its management. In other words, to do real ARCHITECTURE with capital letters, is to integrate environmental aspects from the first phases of design and to manage them during the essay of project and the construction of the building, quantifying the efficiency of the measures adopted.

This book sample us the experience of these first 10 years in training in sustainable and regenerative architecture. But above all it talks about our alumni and their work. During these years, students from different cultures, educational profiles and previous professional experiences have coexisted in class , who now work in different companies around the world, but all of them have a common denominator: the MDGAE".
