The postgraduate diploma course starts on the basis of a reflection on the repercussions that emotion and perception have on space, to then study more closely techniques such as Design Thinking and the use of advanced representation, photography and graphics tools applied to space. It also offers the study of techniques for the design of spaces to take a closer look at sustainability and biophilic design, the repercussion of light on the perception of space, accessibility and the creation of experience through ergonomics.
The EINA Postgraduate Diploma in Perception and Representation of Experiential Spaces features the collaboration of the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
Students from the following areas will be considered to be suitable: Higher graduates in Design, Architecture and Technical Architecture, Stage Design or other qualifications or training providing they have experience in or a link with design disciplines in general and design of spaces in particular.
