The concept of design today no longer concerns just the product but also services, strategies, and systems, increasingly intertwining the themes of environmental sustainability.
\nAt the Polytechnic University of Turin, a culture of systemic design has emerged and is present, now expressed as a study path in the Master’s Degree in Ecodesign and in the future in Systemic Design. Unique in its kind, the course will be dedicated, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his passing, to Aurelio Peccei, a precursor in the study of sustainable development models and founder of the Club of Rome, an international association promoting these themes worldwide.
