DIID

Aims & Scope

Building on established knowledge about industrial design and the different design sectors, diid investigates advanced design cultures, addressing anticipatory perspectives and exploring the convergence between complex systems, stakeholders, organizations and their mutual relations. In recent decades industrial design, as a discipline and practice anchored in the fields of the arts and humanities on the one hand, and in the field of architecture on the other (especially in Italy), has undergone a profound transformation, shifting its attention from the morphological, functional, and technological aspects of products (tangible and intangible) to issues involving the relationship with users, the environment, society, innovation processes and ecosystems, forms of interaction. Change thus emerges as the central topic to be analysed and narrated, by understanding its different meanings and its impacts across various domains of innovation. According to this interpretation, diid continues to study and record developments around design cultures and their correlation with issues of sustainability, technology, society and human behaviour. It aims to open the debate on how design, as both theory and practice, elaborates media, catalyzes knowledge, synthesizes and prototypes material and immaterial artefacts, proposes culture and transforms reality.
