IED PhD in Design, Arts and Transdisciplinarity
Date
02 August 2024
The PhD in Design Arts and Transdisciplinarity is aimed at researchers who want to deal with the complexity of ongoing transitions to design positive changes and imagine more equitable, joint and sustainable futures starting from a post-disciplinary perspective, open to hybridizations between knowledge and the experimentation of new and unexpected connections.
The PhD programme aims to investigate new interpretative paradigms of Design and the Arts, and their roles, in a fluid, rapidly evolving context, through the experimentation of systemic research methodologies.
Design and Arts stand as a transformative platform capable of enabling the interconnection between different forms of knowledge, the relationships between different forms of intelligence (human, non-human, other-than-human) and multiple application possibilities, generated by the intersection between design, art, technologies, sciences (human, social, environmental, economic), in a framework of values based on equity, inclusiveness, responsibility, sustainability and solidarity.
An open and collaborative research environment, an ecosystem in which experiment new hybrid, generative and regenerative methodologies, and apply emerging technologies consciously and responsibly, with a critical, ethical and non-conformist outlook, to go beyond conventional approaches and orient research action towards the common good, care for the planet and shared resources.
The research fields concern the following thematic areas:
- Collective intelligence and Human - non human creativity
- Design Arts and the creative industries in new socio-economic circular environments
- Cultural Heritage through digital and phygital technologies
- Smart technologies and bio-materials: unconventional and circular application
- Data design and information ecology: awareness and knowledge
- Decolonization, commoning and social good in design and art practices
