Máster en Diseño de Yates

The master aims to supply technical and normative information needed to learn the process of project a boat with extreme freedom and project confidence. The study of hull waterline, of structures and piping plants and onboard systems will permit to plan since from the beginning their appropriate positioning, giving the chance to acquire a fundamental professionalism to express oneself freely in design and style.

The master is intended for graduates and graduating in Architecture, Engineering, Design and holders of a diploma in Design Schools. Moreover, it is appropriate a good knowledge of CAD programs. Teaching staff is composed by Architects, Designers and high-profile Naval Architects and Marine Engineers who actually work and cooperate with the most important National and International shipyards. We purposely selected young and dynamic people who could bring not theoretical but concrete experiences from the shipyards' work.

Lessons on theory will be combined with workshops that will lead from concept to the expanding of the project in every detail, until the development of constructive full-scale drawings.

The master consists of theoretical lessons of methodology and keels' and 3D superstructures' modeling, and in technical lessons in laboratory where students will immediately start the yachts design. Teachers will verify the state of every individual project Moreover, companies and production shipyards will be present to give their account and experience as integration

Program of the course

The course is structured with a total duration of 13 months, the didactical activity is united to guided tours to firms and sites and with a stage, all organized by ISAD.

Trainer: an intensive course of modeling NURBS with Rhinoceros and rendering.

Naval architecture and regulations: in this phase students face technical functional issues and regulations that will be the foundations of the future work: water line, structures and requests from naval register design construction. Regulations and ergonomic design in restrained spaces: system plants and equipment, constructive techniques and rapid prototyping.

Planning and Design: materials and outdoor/indoor constructive techniques, interiors supporting structures and their hull connections and assembly. Systems of removable panels for systems, interior Design, and exterior design. Moreover, all boat's kinds and design typologies will be dealt with.

Stage: at the end of the course an internship of 3/6 months will be provided to each student in institutes and shipyards that have been working or producing in the field for many years, to complete the master through the application of lessons directly in the shipyard.
