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.

Designing the empathic experience

Suggestions from Art Practices

The issue of empathy as an embodied, dialogic experience that potentially enhances the value of human relationships, constitutes the core of this book, which is mainly addressed to explore whether empathy is designable and how. This book traces a theoretical framework for changing perspective on empathy in design, by integrating a phenomenological account. One that focuses on empathy's specific nature of intersubjective experience that introduces the other into one’s own personal horizon.

Generative AI in the Design Process

A Journey through Image Generation for Concept Ideation

This book explores the role of generative AI—particularly text-to-image tools like Midjourney—in the early stages of the product design process. The research aims to examine how these tools can support the conceptual phase of industrial design by fostering inspiration, accelerating ideation, and enabling new forms of creative collaboration.
