ARCDES - group of research at dept. of architecture-unife

participation in networks serves both to bring cooperation partners together and to increase international visibility. for this reason in 1996 ARCDES was founded at the Dept. of Architecture of Ferrara as inter-disciplinary research centre. ARCDES supports today cooperation with universities, research institutions and industry, in order to widen its research profile and acquire additional research funding. its goal is to strengthen its own research and to enrich the economic and scientific landscape in the city of Ferrara and in the entire region.
