Designing for a shared future

 

October 2026: the IED two‑year postgraduate programmes oriented towards DesignXCommons resume, positioning design as a tool for social and environmental transformation.

Water, climate, knowledge, urban space: the commons lie at the core of an approach that moves beyond profit-driven logic to embrace principles of collective stewardship. In our DASL courses, you will develop advanced technical skills and a critical mindset capable of addressing contemporary challenges: from urban regeneration to material circularity, from human-machine alliances to inclusive forms of storytelling.

What kind of world do we imagine? A fairer, more resilient and interconnected one - where design acts as a platform for change and designers become commoners - active builders of a shared future.
