Seminar 9: Design

Room Bic 19

The design sector is presented as one of the most promising area of intersection and cooperation between Italy and China in the near future. The two countries share a common background, rooted in ancient knowledge and expressions, which is highly complex and rich in material and immaterial values. In fields that nowadays are strategic for design, such as processing of pottery and silk, China and Italy share common roots that met and influenced each other during the past, foreshadowing the current prospects of creative cooperation. The panel will analyse the different aspects that the encounter between Italian and Chinese experiences assumes in relation to the design, addressing the issues of universities’ cooperation in teaching methodologies, the relationship between design, production and market in driven-design sectors, the launch of creative business and construction of collaborative networks.
