On the occasion of the celebration of the ninth edition of the Day of Italian Design in the World, the conference 'Inequalities. Design for a Better Life'.
The theme chosen for this edition - reads a note from the Italian Embassy in Denmark - looks at the role of quality design in reducing the impact of inequalities on the well-being of individuals in their daily lives. It also offers an immediate opportunity to reflect on sustainable examples of urban regeneration and transformation, with design and architecture at the service of new models of community, accessibility to facilities and services, sustainability tout court as a form of progress. It involves everyone, but is aimed in particular at young people who will have to "build" spaces to share, basing them on common values and cultures that meet, in search - a central point in contemporary design - of a synthesis of the beautiful and the useful.
On these premises, the next Universal Exhibition of the Milan Triennale will develop the theme of inequalities and approaches to eliminate them. Under the banner of 'Inequalities. How to mend the fractures of humanity', the Triennale will in fact touch on various aspects of the problem of the absence of equality in today's societies and indicate solutions to which design actively contributes. The teaching and study of design in Italy is now moving in the same direction, following paths of excellence and creativity that are reflected in the same needs, which are also felt in Denmark, and which invite the representatives of the sector in the two countries to closer comparisons.
In this spirit, in front of an audience of local designers, journalists and insiders, together with architects and young members of the large community of compatriots who are involved in or follow the sector in Denmark, Prof. Marco Sammicheli, director of the Italian Design Museum and curator at the Milan Triennale, presented the Triennale project and the evolution of which it is an interpreter on the international scene. Prof. Giovanni Ottonello, creative director of Ied, spoke in turn, representing the innovations of the famous Italian School and the development of the visual and method in teaching in the world of contemporary design.
