  • How can sustainable transition be facilitated through design placing manufacturing companies at the centre? What role does the designer play in sustainable transitions? Through @_mattia.it ’s PhD research, it was possible to answer these questions by developing and applying a framework within a company!

Spoiler alert, the designer plays a central role before, during and after transition projects.

For more information on Mattia’s research work, feel free to contact us!

  • Exchanging knowledge and expertise with other researchers is an important part of academic life. The D+S team believes in this philosophy and promotes international exchanges with other universities.
This is why today we share with you the experience of @silviad.mb, one of our PhD Students who recently concluded her experience at @elisavabcn in Barcelona. There, she was able to study the theory and practice of the 15-minute city and build relationships with the city and its inhabitants!
