9 Reasons why | VISITS

03. Enjoy a full and exciting experience

Design feeds on perceptions: suggestions and references that only direct experience can offer. For this reason, YACademy courses are also composed of a series of visits and trips aimed at enriching the cultural baggage of the students so they can improve their design approach. Surveys, building-site visits and company visits complete the offer of a program that is based on experience by leading students to get in touch with some of the most excellent firms on the Italian and international scenario.

10 Reasons why | WORKSHOP

04. Designs for prestigious clients

After the lectures, students will develop a real project under the su- pervision of a renowned architectural firm. Through the workshop, therefore, the students will not only have the opportunity to learn the processes and methodologies used by their tutor, but also to enrich their curriculum with a new design experience (whose outcome is often realized) for some of the most prestigious clients in the world.

Villa Imperiale

Villa Imperiale is located a few kilometres away from Pesaro, immersed in the andscape of the Natural Park of the mount San Bartolo that protects its original relation with nature. An ancient residence of the Sforza in the sixteenth century, it was enlarged and frescoed at the behest of Della Rovere duchies in the sixteenth century by the architect Girolamo Genga, from Urbino. Its splendour faded for a long period, from 1631 to the nineteenth century, when the Villa passed to the Albani family, joined with the Castelbarco family. Thanks to the care and to the restoration of thenew owners, it has been possible to return to the ancient splendour of the residence. Villa Impe- riale is considered one of the most amazing works of Italian Renais- sance. Composed of two very different buildings, connected by a hanging hall, the old fifteenth century villa and the new wing, entirely of Roveresque construction, it shows itself as a terraced architecture leaned to the slopes of the hill and characterized by a sequence of courtyards, gardens and terraces.

30 Program | VISITS

Villa Imperiale The course will open with a three-day visit to Villa Imperiale. To- gether with the owners and some of the professors, students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge about and personally experience the Villa, in order to understand its peculiarities and to gain full awareness of the workshop site.

Bologna With the widest medieval city centre of Europe, Bologna is a com- pendium of numerous and different restoring interventions. From the mimetic recovery (Mercanzia Palace) to the philological restoration (San Filippo Neri oratory), by visiting the city students can see first-hand results and methodologies of the most different approaches to the preservation of historical heritage.

Urbino UNESCO heritage, Urbino is one of the most important and char- ming renaissance historical center. With the immense Ducal Pala- ce and the urban structure perched on the promontory on which it stands, Urbino can be considered the key element to understand the history and origins of Villa Imperiale, as they are both inked to the Montefeltro influence.
