The Honours Programme Advanced School of Architecture (ASA) of the Politecnico Milano is an "additive" training course that runs parallel to the Master's Degree Programs in Architecture (class LM-4). The mission of the ASA is to strengthen and develop the figure of the architect-designer, through design and research activities that put the student in direct contact with the professional reality and with the complexity of the processes currently underway in the various European and extra-European realities.
ASA is aimed at talented young students (20 per year) selected based on their educational background and the average achieved in the three-year degree course (or in the Bachelor's course for those coming from abroad) or in the three-year single-cycle five-year course.

Master Class
There are 3 Master Classes lasting one week, to be held at the Politecnico di Milano premises in the following periods:
Advanced Design Practice
The Advanced Design Practice experience takes place after the end of the Master's degree/ single-cycle degree years, for at least 500 hours (15 weeks) in an architecture studio of excellence, to be chosen from a list of international studios affiliated to the Politecnico.
Students will have to return the completeness of their design and professional experience as a 'logbook', with a critical text illustrated with sketches, drawings and photographs.
In keeping with the ASA's mission to strengthen and develop the figure of the architect-designer, the degree thesis must compulsorily be a project thesis (Research by Design), the elaboration of which may begin within one of the Master Classes or during the period of Advanced Project Practice in the architectural practice of excellence.
