    _________________________________________________

    The curriculum in Design of the environment offers a fundamental training to the project of design as creative activity and a common mean of expression to the disciplines of the industrial design, the architecture and the urban design.

    It is based on a definitions of the environment as the set of the objects and built spaces framing the daily life, and the design of the environment as an approach to the project of design of these objects and spaces, aware and respectful of this integration.

    It is an originality of this program to put in relation these three environmental scales in a project of design: for example, the table will not be conceived without its link in the space and in the defined manners, both, by the place where it will be installed.
