The
Politecnico di Milano with its 17 Departments and
45.000 students, is one of the leading Italian University in the
fields of engineering, architecture and planning.
Directed by Prof. Patrizia Gabellini since January 2009, DiAP pursues scientific research and teaching objectives in the field of architectural, urban, regional and environmental change, a set of subjects that cannot be tackled with a purely disciplinary perspective.
There are new meeting points in the evolution of disciplinary areas, between environment, community and architectural planners and between communications, policy, visual art and management experts.
This multidisciplinary approach is a particular characteristic of the Department, that it is able to offer expertise and products to meet emerging demands from processes of physical and social change, to a plurality of people and organisations (local authorities, social and business actors, researchers and teachers).
There are many fields of research and consultancy - such as territorial analysis, analysis and design of planning processes, new policy instruments, strategic planning, environmental planning, infrastructures planning and design, "ambient design", architectural and urban project - and DiAP is articulated in Research Areas, where 39 laboratories develop new teaching programmes and scientific tools.
