Special provisions for the Covid-19 emergency Due to the pandemic situation, in site of the courses taking place between September 2020 and February 2021, YAC has taken extra- ordinary measures for the best performance of its activities and to facilitate access to its courses, in accordance to safety criteria. As far as the 2021 programs are concerned, it is specified that: 1. based on merit, 5 scholarships are provided for each course (for a total of 30 scholarships in 2021) to fully cover the enrol- lment cost; 2. the course will also be open to students of architecture or simi- lar disciplines who have not graduated yet; 3. although the courses will be held in person, 10 students per course will have the opportunity to participate in the courses virtually, without any limitations in participating in the work- shop and in the placement service at the end of the course.

YACADEMY The greatest innovation in postgraduate education YAC is an association which promotes architectural competitions aimed at fostering culture and design research. Over the years, YAC has broadened its experience of work and collaboration with the main architectural firms of contemporary architecture, dealing with diverse and numerous topics of architectural design. Nowadays, YAC’s expertise can serve young designers better, providing them with the creation of high-level educational programs aimed at rein- forcing the skills of the students and offering them a valuable con- nection to the labour market. Thanks to the close relationship with internationally renowned professional and academic actors, YAC is the perfect frame within which complete or specialize one’s skills, and create a significative link with the most internationally-renow- ned architectural firms. 4
Where Via Borgonuovo, 5 Bologna, Italy In the heart of Bologna’s historical city center, close to the Two Towers and next to Piazza Santo Stefano, YACademy is located in a prestigious medieval building which has been renovated to wel- come an educational center of excellence which can also count on a library of more than 3.000 books donated by Sapienza University. YACademy is the perfect place where to continue or enrich your ed- ucation, in a prestigious context immersed in the commercial and historical centre of an always-on the-go and lively city located at a short distance from Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan. From Bolo- gna Central Station, it takes just a brief bus ride or a short pleasant walk under the marvellous porticos to get to YACademy’s head- quarters: here, among history, innovation and internationality, the young designers will be able to meet some of the most celebrated personalities of contemporary architecture and build up a network of excellence while laying the foundations of their future careers. 5

Reasons why | VISITS 03. Enjoy a full and exciting experience Design feeds on perceptions: suggestions and references that only direct experience can offer. For this reason, YACademy courses are also composed of a series of visits and trips aimed at enriching the cultural baggage of the students so they can improve their design approach. Surveys, building-site visits and company visits complete the offer of a program that is based on experience by leading stu- dents to get in touch with some of the most excellent firms on the Italian and international scenario. 10
Reasons why | WORKSHOP 04. Designs for prestigious clients After the lectures, students will develop a real project under the su- pervision of a renowned architectural firm. Through the workshop, the students will therefore not only have the opportunity to learn the processes and methodologies used by their tutor, but also to enri- ch their curriculum with new design experience (whose outcome is often realized) for some of the most prestigious clients in the world. 11

Program | WORKSHOP Valle Averto Unique protected area of the Veneto’s lagoon, Valle Averto repre- sents a natural context of extraordinary charm and interest. From its watchtowers, in fact, not only it is possible to see hawks, herons, and elegant flamingos, but – during the days with clear sky - it is also possible to see the Campanile of San Marco Cathedral and the domes of San Giorgio Church, in Venice. Natural compendium full of charm and suggestion, Valle Averto is the result of century of human-induced activity, that is persistent and stratified in a harmo- nious contrast of embankments and canals, resulting from a com- plex work of hydraulic engineering aimed at regulating the salinity of the lagoon, and therefore, at monitoring the movements of fish species. Valle Averto is the quintessence of lagoon landscape, with several shades of colour that change from lush to rusty according to the light of the seasons. Here, among rushes, water lilies and sal- twort, native turtles share their home with badgers, foxes, and pink flamingos, in a vibrant mosaic of life and species, that rightfully con- stitute a naturalistic area of international importance. 30
Program | VISITS Oasi di Valle Averto The course will open with three days visit to Valle Averto. Together with the WWF responsible and some of the professors, students will have the opportunity to deep and experience the Oasis of Val- le Averto, in order to understand its peculiarities and to gain a full awareness of the workshop site. Frassinago Frassinago Studio founded in 2006, Bologna, with its green indoor and outdoor spaces represents a real dictionary of garden design. Aesthetic quality, and design coherence take their form in natural spaces intensively liveable during the full year. The Studio combines the most different skills- from botanic to design, from agronomy to architecture and it moves through the strong principles that contri- bute to the value of the project and to the experimental evolution of methodology. Arte Sella Among the main art parks in Europe, Arte Sella is the stratification of the intervention of some of the most illustrious art and archi- tecture exponents. Through a visit to the park, students will have the opportunity to understand the relation between contemporary though and natural element, in order to regenerate their own appro- ach and the method of relation with the landscape. * the timing and methods of the visits will be confirmed according to the regulatory evo- lution regarding the containment of the contagion from Covid-19 31
