Five themed tables, a participatory format where students, professionals, and enthusiasts discuss major changes in the world of design, communication, and creativity.
On Tuesday, May 13 at 6 PM, the garden of IED’s San Quintino campus will turn into an open, multidisciplinary space with Complex Realities—an event that reimagines the traditional talk format as a participatory and engaging experience.
Through an innovative setup, five themed tables will spark open and informal conversations between students, faculty, professionals, and curious minds on the key topics reshaping the world of contemporary design and creativity.
- COMMUNICATION AND AI
How visual and non-visual languages are changing, and the role new technologies and artificial intelligence play in creative and communicative processes.
With Matteo Milaneschi, Coordinator of DASL in Communication & Creative Technologies and Alessandro Di Benedetto, Executive Design Director @ Sketchin
- INTERACTION DESIGN
Experiences, interfaces, and relationships between people and technologies: how interactive design is redefining the ways we live, work, and move in the digital and physical world.
With Alice Mela and Andrea Pinchi, Coordinators of DASL in Interaction Design and Lorenzo Romagnoli, Lead Interaction Designer @ Pininfarina with Prianjali Kapur, Design Manager @ Pininfarina
- INTERIOR DESIGN
More mindful, sustainable spaces in tune with people: how interior design is changing in light of growing critical awareness and attention to environmental and social issues.
With Adelaide Testa and Andrea Marcante, Coordinators of DASL in Interior Design and Armando Baietto, Architect @ Studio Baietto Battiato Bianco
- SOCIAL ECOLOGICAL DESIGN
Designing with collective well-being and the relationship between humans, environment, and society in mind: an approach to design that focuses on ecology and community dynamics.
With Michael Kaethler, Coordinator of Master in Social Ecological Design and Federica Natalia Rosati, Researcher and Curator
- FUTURE MOBILITY
From urban transportation to managing global flows: how mobility forms are evolving and what the consequences will be, locally and globally, in the new scenarios of movement and connection.
With Wouter Haspeslagh, Coordinator of Master in Mobility Design and Rawad Choubassi, Partner @ Systematica
Each table will be facilitated by IED faculty and coordinators alongside industry experts, stimulating curiosity and opening new avenues for dialogue and reflection. Participants can freely move between tables, listen, ask questions, and engage in lively, informal conversations on current design and creativity-related topics.
Complex Realities aims to be a space where disciplines, professionals, and students converge, offering new perspectives on the complex contemporary scenarios that design is called upon to interpret today.
Following the event, a garden aperitif will provide an opportunity to continue conversations informally and learn more about the educational opportunities at IED Torino.
