About M-US-T Master in Temporary Uses
M-US-T Master in Temporary Uses is an advanced postgraduate course on temporary uses. It addresses the planning, design, implementation, and management of temporary uses as valuable tools to support processes, projects, and intervention strategies for urban and territorial transformation at different scales. The Master’s degree aims to respond to the demand for tools and skills for temporary uses from several urban actors such as public administrations, real estate developers, citizens’ associations, activists, placemakers, involved in territorial animation.
M-US-T is organized into modules, each facing the design of temporary uses in relation to: the reuse of residual buildings and spaces; large urban projects and big events; the regeneration of landscape and public space; post-disaster transformation. The main training objectives of the Master’s course are: to learn about the different declinations of temporary uses; to learn how to critically evaluate situations and contexts where it is valuable and appropriate to proceed with temporary uses; to have the basic skills to initiate temporary use projects. This will be done through various activities (lectures, discussions, exercises, individual study), visits and meetings with professionals, organizations, and territorial realities that experiment with temporary uses. Workshop and internship will be held, allowing a design and implementation or an in-depth study experience at institutions, professional studios, private companies, associations and NGOs.
The skills provided by M_US-T outline different professional profiles, such as: reuse agents and designer, activators and managers of temporary uses. These professional profiles may find occupation within: Public Administrations, Third Sector, NGOs, and Real Estate; or in companies dealing with communities; or as consultant of public and private subjects; up to employment in socio-cultural entrepreneurship or placemaking.
