The course offers four scholarships with full coverage of the enrolment cost, one of which is reserved for IAAD and Accademia Italiana alumni and students.

With a frequency of three days per week for a duration of two months, Wood Design hosts several frontal teaching modules with the participation of numerous well-known professionals working at world-renowned companies, including BIG, Kengo Kuma & Associates, AMDL Circle and Atsushi Kitagawara Architects.

The course's workshop, tutored by art director of AMDL Circle Nicholas Bewick and conducted in collaboration with Oasy Hotel and WWF, will look at the design of a collection of carbon-positive wood furniture, imagined for the exclusive concept of accommodation of Oasy Hotel.

In addition, Yacademy offers its students the opportunity to participate in the process of producing their own ideas, gaining practical experience on construction sites and the authorship of projects capable of defining a turning point in their professional career.

To conclude the course, each student will carry out a period of collaboration with one of Yacademy's partner firms.

Such collaboration will have a minimum duration of two months and guaranteed remuneration consistent with regulatory requirements.

Some of the professional players with expertise in relation to the course topic include Raw Edges Design Studio and Henning Larsen.
