Master in Garden Design Online

ONLINE

Garden design is the art and process of designing and creating private gardens and parks. The project, from design to realisation, is carried out personally by a professional, the garden designer, who has in-depth knowledge of horticulture and green space design. Occasionally a garden designer may also be a landscape architect. Amateur or professional gardeners can also achieve a high level of competence in garden design depending on their experience or training, following qualified master courses or working alongside established professionals in the field.

THE TRAINING COURSE

The objective of the Master's Course in Garden Design is to consolidate the student's technical and artistic skills in the design of gardens, parks and green areas, in order to create harmonious and fascinating compositions and place them in a living and natural context. Integration with the landscape is in fact an essential principle in green design, which must aim for a perfect fusion between nature and the work of man. Each of the decorative elements required to complete the project must aim to achieve the necessary balance between the vitality of vegetation and the art of human intervention.

The design phase of this full-immersion master's degree in garden design is based on the integration between the environment and the needs of the client, between functionality and design choices. All this is fundamental in order to find effective and appropriate solutions, capable of shaping the landscape with elegance and with constant attention to the relationship between tradition and new trends.

Ho seguito la Masterclass su Photoeditor&Visualstorytelling e devo dire che sono super soddisfatta della scelta. Sono una fotografa nel settore eventi e ritrattistica, è sempre importante saper comunicare con le immagini in ogni settore e con questo corso ho ampliato, approfondito e imparato ad avere una nuova visione di comunicazione. Non è solo un corso specifico di formazione, è anche un modo per mettersi a confronto in primis con i docenti, preparatissimi, seri ed aperti all’ascolto. Anche il personale del direttivo è molto presente, attento e disponibile ad ogni richiesta e informazione. Qui non solo impari, ma cresci!

Ho frequentato il corso in Fashion Photography e ho trovato questa esperienza molto formativa e stimolante che amplia la cultura sulla fotografia di Moda dal punto di vista teorico e pratico. I docenti sono molto preparati e amano realmente questo mestiere. Durante le lezioni pratiche ho avuto l'opportunità di scattare modelle professioniste che vengono da agenzie di Moda altamente professionali. Ringrazio questa accademia per avermi dato questa opportunità e anche di poter avere la possibilità di avere contatti con agenzie nel mondo del lavoro.

Ho partecipato al corso di Wedding Flower Design e non potrei essere più soddisfatta della mia esperienza. Il percorso formativo è stato completo, stimolante e ricco di contenuti davvero utili. Anche lo stage è stato fondamentale: mi ha permesso di mettere subito in pratica ciò che avevo imparato e di acquisire una sicurezza che non pensavo di raggiungere in così poco tempo.

Grazie a questo corso e allo stage ho avuto l’opportunità di trovare diversi lavori nel settore in brevissimo tempo, cosa che non mi sarei mai aspettata. Mi sono trovata benissimo con l’organizzazione, i docenti e l’ambiente di apprendimento.

Consiglio questo corso a chiunque desideri entrare nel mondo del wedding: è un’esperienza formativa che apre davvero le porte al lavoro!
