2026: IED celebrates its 60th anniversary with ‘Plural Intelligences’, an exploration of design as a catalyst for interaction between different ways of thinking.

Through an international public programme and the publication of the journal Notes on Plural Intelligences, the project explores design as a relational practice capable of integrating diverse voices and forms of knowledge. The editorial journey analyses the concept of intelligence across five key dimensions — from relationships to memory, from materials to learning processes — to define a manifesto that guides the global community’s reflection.
What is the aim of this vision? To promote design that contributes to the betterment of the planet through collaboration between plural intelligences. An invitation to rediscover listening and sharing as fundamental tools for addressing the complexity of the contemporary world.
