The Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly, invites all interested students to submit their applications for the postgraduate program INSTEAD (parapoesis) for the academic year 2015-16, leading to a Master’s Degree in Architectural Design.

The postgraduate program has been operating for six years at the University of Thessaly. It is an international program, in permanent cooperation with professors and universities abroad. INSTEAD is directed by architects (Antonas, Paniyiris, Vyzoviti) but this year’s program will involve important artists like Zafos Xagoraris, artist and president of the Athens School of Fine Arts.

The program addresses the city through all scales of the urban environment: design for the urban fabric, the building block, the building unit and the furniture. The program comprises workshops and seminars with thematic topics that relate to all these scales.
