2022 edition MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION FOR ARCHITECTURE Strategies and storytelling for a successful project
YAC REFUSES WAR “Architecture is only a pretext: what matters is life and the humankind” Oscar Niemeyer There can be no division between the ethical and the professional dimensions: YACademy has always been attentive to the needs of its students, welcoming their personal experiences and support- ing them in particular critical contexts. In light of the tragic events which have affected Ukraine, it is necessary to show closeness, in a constructive and efficient way, to all the people who suffer because of war. For this reason, for the entire duration of the aca- demic year 2022/2023, YACademy courses will be free of charge for designers of Ukranian citizenship - wherever they are - as long as they have completed their application process correctly and have been included in the ranking.

Program | WORKSHOP Arte Sella Arte Sella: the contemporary mountain. A place where in more than thirty years the mountain and contemporary art meet. Art and Na- ture merge in a continuous dialogue, where Artists from all over the world are invited to encounter the Sella Valley to carry out artworks that are nourished by the unique History and nature of the place. 30
Program | CONSTRUCTION Construction and press launch For students attending the course in the “advanced” mode, the end of the workshop will be followed by a series of operational reviews with representatives from different YACademy’s partner companies and specific producers oriented towards the construction of what has been designed during the workshop. This phase will pass throu- gh an executive detail process of the workshop project, carried out by the students under the supervision of the companies in the sec- tor. Students will thus have the opportunity to face the most advan- ced stages of design, measuring themselves with budgets, opera- tional problems, and technologies to implement their own concepts. Once the engineering is completed, the construction site will be set up. The experience will be completed by the creation of case histo- ries and video-documentaries on the project presented in a special press conference, organized by YACademy at the end of the works. Depending on the project developed by the students within the cour- se, the construction and press coverage phases can obviously go beyond the time limit set for the engineering (see calendar section).
