UNFOLD

Domus Academy presents UNFOLD, the exhibition-event that brings together design students and schools from all over the world in Milan Design Week

Domus Academy presents UNFOLD, a research project on innovative themes involving international design universities and fostering synergies and creative stimulation among students and teachers from different backgrounds and cultures. The concept of this first edition, "Unfolding complexities", represents the designer's ability to explore dependencies and interconnections to interpret the complexities of broader crises through simple design capable of creating positive impact.

The event will be an unprecedented opportunity to observe the perspectives of students called upon to address some of the global urgencies of our time with proposals that use design both as a problem-solving discipline and as a form of communication and relationship that transcends boundaries and differences.

 

UNFOLD event includes 

  • exhibition of the selected projects. From Monday 16th to Sunday 21st, find opening hours in the 'Program' section
     
  • "Unfolding complexities: design for sense-making" conference in which students and faculty will present projects and creative processes. Thursday 18th from 9.30am to 5.30pm
     
  • "Design for complexity: plural perspectives on systems ambiguity" roundtable with Georgina Voss, Allison Rowe, Silvio Lorusso e Matt Webb. Thursday 18th from 6pm to 7.30pm.
