Design projects

We look at the world not as it is, but as it could be. Drawing on design, we imagine different worlds through critical and forward-looking creations aimed at transforming our habits.

The design project questions the systems from which objects emerge, beyond the design of artefacts: resources, production, distribution, marketing and economics. The aim is to understand how these systems influence, inform or limit design.

We encourage research that questions the norms and roles of industrial design. To do this we develop projects that explore local, situated and participatory solutions; projects that propose alternative roles for design in the context of scientific research; projects that combine simple technologies with high technologies.
Our teaching approach combines theory and practice: history, philosophy, culture and design techniques are at the heart of the Master's courses.
