The Green Design is now an important specialisation, which is assuming, especially in recent times and as a result of the urgent and rightful attention that is owed to the environmental issue, a leading role. The watchword is in design everything, sustainability.
Hence the need to train real professionals in this great niche of the sector, who know the regulations and can design, create and think 'green'.
Italian Design Institute, training institution in the Design sector, organises a advanced training course in Green Designoffering participants access to a master's degree and two specialisation courses, providing all the knowledge on green design.
The training proposal is called 'Green Experience' and includes the areas of Garden Design, Indoor Green and Green Urbanism.
1. Green Experience: The Master in Garden Design
The Master's course is aimed at acquiring and consolidating technical and artistic skills in the design of gardens, parks and green areas, through the realisation of projects that see a perfect integration with the landscape.
The topics covered during the master's course are:
● Botany and landscape ecology
● Inhabiting nature
● Slab gardens and private gardens
● Vertical green
● Recognition of botanical and tree species
● Classification of species of ornamental interest
● Elements of garden history
● Selection of plants in the nursery
● Terrain characteristics
● Exaltation of sensory elements

2. Specialisation in Green Indoor Design and Green urbanism
Two specific courses: one in indoor green design (through a complete and specific training pathway that allows to find the most suitable design solutions within indoor contexts, enriched thanks to the philosophy aimed at the wellbeing of living spaces) and the other in Green Urbanism, to acquire technical and artistic skills in urban green design, through the creation of green spaces, inserting them in urban spaces, favouring harmony and balance in the man-environment relationship and enhancing the environment and landscape of the urban open territory.
The topics studied during these two phases are many:
● Architectural greenery
● The function of shapes and volumes in green design
● Green roofs
● Wall greenery
● The vertical garden
Indoor green
● Gardens and terraces: the green design
● The birth of Urban Green

● Forestry for the city and the naturalistic restoration of open spaces

Leading lecturers in the field in this extraordinary training experience are Sonia Santella, Patrizia Pozzi, Stefano Laprocina, Pierpaolo Tagliola and Stefano Mengoli.
In addition to the certificate of attendance for the master's course and each specialisation, the Italian Design Institute's Green experience also allows students to obtain a certificate for the master's project work and to carry out an important internship period at partner facilities, with the final issue of the relevant certificate. Above all, it allows them to become part of an exclusive community, thanks to the access offered to national events in the sector and to the reserved area on the website italiandesigninstitute.com.
