The programme

The programme

AM3 Studio runs a scholarship programme for recent graduates, aimed at activating paid internships within its own design team. The initiative develops through an exclusive, non-competitive collaboration with a limited number of selected Technical Partners: Cascino, Saint-Gobain, Tradimalt and TrameUrbane.

The aim is to foster the integration of design culture, applied research and innovation in materials and technologies. The programme activates the studio as a physical space: for a graduate, a bridge between education, practice and technical insight.

The workspace

The workspace

The studio space is conceived as a working and experimentation environment equipped to support the entire design process. Through a multidisciplinary approach, projects — public or private — are developed from conceptualisation (digital modelling, drawing and schematisation), to physical modelling and 3D printing, through to construction (technical drawings and dialogue with contractors and companies). The studio thus becomes a place where research, design and construction coexist and feed one another.
