The Design International series was launched in 2017 as a place for cultural exchange between the different design souls. Over the years, the series has consolidated its position as a point of reference for international research, outlining a continuously updated research map. The Scientific Committee, consisting of experts in fashion, interiors, graphics, communication, product, service, social interaction, innovation and emotional design guarantees the level of the accepted texts. The Editorial Board, consisting of young experts in the different branches of design, supports the work of the scientific committee. After an initial evaluation by the two committees, the texts undergo international double revision.

Educating Future-ready Designers

A framework for teaching design futures

Tomorrow’s designers must do more than create products, services, and experiences. They must anticipate change, navigate uncertainty, imagine alternative futures, and make responsible decisions in a world transformed by artificial intelligence, climate change, and accelerating technological and social transitions. This book introduces Design Futures, an original educational approach that brings together Design Thinking, Futures Thinking, creativity, immersive storytelling, experiential learning, and AI as a creative collaborator.

House and Studio Museums between Art and Design

Research Methods and Design Strategies

House and studio museums of artists, architects, and designers – the spaces of the faber – constitute the core subject of this volume, which examines how these dwellings and workspaces, already configured as museums or envisaged as such after the disappearance of their owners, may be systematically studied, classified, and enhanced through the disciplinary lenses of art history, museology, and design.

Design for Customization

This volume explores the evolving landscape of customization in design, analyzing the technological and cultural shifts redefining how products are conceived and manufactured. Growing out of extensive academic research, the volume investigates how Additive Manufacturing, Computational Design, and Generative AI are enabling a transition from rigid mass production to a flexible model capable of responding to the demand for uniqueness.

Time to exhibit

Directing Spatial Design and New Narrative Pathways

This book offers a key for reinterpreting interior design as a whole, in light of the narrative component of a kind of exhibition design that constantly addresses the measurement of time, which becomes the founding variable to be dealt with on the level of a project. Commenting on the evolution of exhibition design, the volume outlines its future sceneries, arising as an unicum from the perspective of the reflection on the role and the developments of this interior design branch.

Design(ing) Manufacturing Collaboration

The Case of the Furniture Sector in Uruguay

In Uruguay, collaboration between designers and manufacturing companies remains limited, largely due to the historical separation between the academic sphere and the productive sector. Design has often evolved within theoretical or cultural frameworks disconnected from industrial practice. This book seeks to bridge that gap, presenting a design intervention aimed at creating spaces for exchange and collaboration between those who design and those who produce.
