London-Milan 2007: The Dual City Summer Sessions in Design

Students, new designers and professionals from around the world are once again invited to enrol onto the London Milan Summer Sessions for four weeks of design tuition and experimentation in world-renowned institutions. Now in its second year this unique collaboration between Central Saint Martins in London, Domus Academy and NABA in Milan enables students to study in two of Europe most inspiring cities taking complementary courses in the field of Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design or Product Design. Last year nearly 150 students from 37 different countries joined the sessions. In the words of one of last year’s students “I really enjoyed the course and had a great deal to learn from all the tutors. It was a very nice approach to designing and I enjoyed every bit of it.” (Advanced Product Design student, 2006)

Winner of the Compasso d’Oro, Italy’s most sought after design award, Domus Academy has always been a true pioneer of “Made in Italy” not simply teaching how to design products, but considering design as a complex, challenging activity. Today, Domus Academy welcomes hundreds of students from over 50 countries to its state of the art, teaching and multimedia facilities.

NABA
The Milan sections of the beginner courses are run by NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti). NABA is an academy of arts and design which was formed in 1980 by a group of artists, aimed at challenging the rigid academic tradition. NABA training programs are based on a cross-disciplinary method aimed at developing artistic-professional skills and profiles in the fields of art, design, fashion, media and graphic design.
