IED Florence IED Florence is uniquely positioned to design, host and run customized programs for private groups, universities and institutions seeking to maximize their student s time abroad.

3 IED FLORENCE IED Florence location IED Florence will move to a new location in October 2012 in Via Bufalini just steps away from the Duomo di Firenze. The new facility is part of a larger collaboration with the Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze. The Ente is the foundation of the Savings Bank of Florence which promotes and finances projects of historic conservation and preservation in Florence. Future collaborations between IED Florence and the Ente Cassa di Risparmio include: The Rinascimento Digitale: development of new technology and media, OMA: promotion and development of artisan traditions and products as well as development of urban redesign initiatives and programs. The new space is part of an architectural requalification project of the 20th century building within the context of the medieval city. The 1957 structure, designed by Giovanni Michelucci (noted architect of the Santa Maria Novella railway station in 1934 and the Chiesa dell Autostrada del Sole, both in Florence) is being transformed into an educational and cultural meeting space where the IED Florence is situated. The project has two phases. The first has been completed in Fall 2012 with the opening of the main space. In 2013 the final phase will be complete and encompass 14 classrooms, 4 computer labs, auditorium, fashion archive, administrative offices and public exhibition space. IED Florence will have the capacity to offer public events in collaboration with local and international partners. Starting from its founding in 1966 the IED has placed new technology and quality craftsmanship that reflect continuity of the traditions of the classical artisan at the center of its academic curriculum and project development. This synthesis has created a one of a kind experience and opportunity unique to IED programs. IED Florence is thus able to call upon the infinite cultural, artistic and technical resources matured over centuries that define and distinguish the remarkable region of Tuscany.
