The Zurich University of the Arts’ (ZHdK) Institute of Design and Technology (idt) offers a two-year
postgraduate studio program in scenography and spatial design leading to the Masters of Advanced
Studies in Scenography award. The part-time and international oriented course is lead by the archi-
tect, curator and theoretician Stephan Trüby.

The course offers a creative platform for professional designers and university graduates to expand
and develop their individual design language and theoretical position in the areas of architecture, ex-
hibition design, urban intervention, (media-) art and theatre through a scenographical transdisciplinary
approach. Based on historical and contemporary practice and theory, the course connects both his-
torical and contemporary design practices and theories and reapplies them directly to the design of
scenographic spaces.

committee:
