Descrizione dell'iniziativa

The Passion in Action “Conversazioni sul design per una progettazione critica” offers a cycle of dialogues dedicated to exploring design as an intellectual practice and a tool for critical reflection. The course investigates how design can contribute to systemic change through the redefinition of worldviews and value systems.The PIA consists of four thematic sessions, each featuring a guest — designer, philosopher, or journalist — who will engage in open and critical dialogue with students on the following topics:

Philosophical Foundations of Design – Analysis of the theoretical bases and the ethical and aesthetic premises of design. Design as a form of thought and a means of cultural construction.

Allegories of Design – Exploration of the symbolic and narrative value of objects. Design as allegory and as a device for social interpretation.

Design as a Critical Tool for Gender – Investigating the relationship between design, identity, and representation. Design as an inclusive practice and a medium for reflecting on power and gender dynamics.

Journalists, Critics, or Slipper Sellers – Discussion on the role of communication in contemporary design: between criticism, dissemination, and market forces. Reflection on the ethics of communication and the construction of design discourse.

Integrated within the “Critica del Design” course by prof. Valentina Auricchio, these thematic sessions aim to encourage students to approach design as a critical practice, capable of engaging with and influencing contemporary social, environmental, and economic transformations
