Urbanistica di Sassari, Architecture Department in Alghero, Italy.
The university's architecture and urban planning department sits in a building on Piazza Duomo and offers bachelor's and master's level programs in design and architecture. The facility includes studios and workshops where students develop design projects throughout their studies.
The department was established in 2002 as Sardinia's first architecture teaching program, making it possible for local students to study design without leaving the island. Its creation responded to a long-standing gap in higher education on the island.
The department connects students to Mediterranean building traditions through projects that examine local construction methods and regional design principles. Study work focuses on how traditional forms and contemporary design approaches inform each other in this part of Italy.
Entry requires passing a national entrance exam, with limited spots especially for international applicants. Visitors can tour the facility during open hours to see student workspaces and project displays.
The curriculum splits into two specialized tracks early on: one focused on urban planning and spatial design, the other on product design. This structure lets students shape their studies toward their specific career interests from the start.
