Publication of the first three volumes edited by faculty members of the Department of Design

We are pleased to announce the release of three volumes authored by faculty members of the Department of Design, published by FrancoAngeli.

The volumes were produced within the framework of the Dipartimenti di Eccellenza initiative, for which the Department was selected by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) with "Design for Systemic Change", a project that addresses the complex challenges of ecological and digital transitions through an integrated and experimental design approach, with the aim of developing circular and sustainable solutions.

Embracing change and supporting transitions, edited by Stefana Broadbent and Silvia Ferraris, presents a series of studies and reflections on how design is approaching the transition towards more uncertain futures. Starting from a shared understanding that we are facing radical transformations of our physical and social world, the authors embrace a systemic perspective to position the role of design in addressing these challenges.

Designing ethically in a complex world, edited by Elena Caratti and Laura Galluzzo, focuses on the ethical challenges of design for public and social systems, attempting to clarify what it means to design ethically in a complex world, within a multifaceted reality in which everything is interconnected and constantly changing.

Design challenges in creative systems, edited by Paola Cordera and Raffaella Trocchianesi, focuses on the dynamic systems of creativity and culture within diverse design fields, merging theoretical reflections, case studies, methodologies, technologies, tools, and original practices.

The volumes are available in the open-access catalog at this link.
