Data, design and plural intelligences: a conversation on how data can become tools for storytelling and understanding the world.
Casa IED New York hosted a conversation with Giorgia Lupi, internationally renowned information designer and partner at Pentagram, as part of the Plural Intelligences series — the program through which IED is celebrating its 60th anniversary by exploring the many forms of intelligence that shape contemporary design.
During the evening, Lupi shared her personal and professional journey: from growing up in a small Italian town to studying architecture, and eventually discovering data visualization as a language capable of combining analytical rigor, design sensitivity and narrative imagination.
At the center of the conversation was the concept of data humanism, the approach Lupi developed to reinterpret data not as cold or purely quantitative elements, but as representations of human experiences. As she explained, data is never neutral: it is always the result of choices — what we decide to observe, record and tell.
Through a selection of projects, including the celebrated Dear Data, now part of the MoMA permanent collection, Lupi showed how data visualization can become a tool to tell stories, create connections and open new perspectives on the world.
