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.

Multiple challenges within design for public and social systems
This volume focuses on the ethical challenges of design for public and social systems, attempting to clarify what it means to design ethically in a complex world and how it is possible to do so, within a multifaceted reality in which everything is interconnected and constantly changing.

Approaches to systemic change in products, services and systems
The volume presents a series of studies and reflections on how design is approaching the transition towards more uncertain futures: novel ways of integrating new disciplines such as data analysis, artificial intelligence, neurosciences into practice and theory and explore the extension of design processes to develop new frameworks for tackling major societal and environmental changes.

Designing a Neologism between Memories, Emotions and Atmospheres
This book is a collection of essays written by authors from different disciplinary and professional backgrounds, offering various points of view on Mnemosphere, which still does not have an unambiguous definition, drawing inspiration for considerations and insights: the interaction between the spheres of memories, emotions, and atmospheres.

Future-proofing design practices
The aim of this publication is to investigate how spatial design, and in particular interior design, has reacted and continues to respond to the everchanging transformations of the contemporary scenario, considering both the conceptual-designing dimension in the definition of spaces and the operational-executive dimension, which cannot be separated from the completion of a design process.

The future of materials and design in the biofabrication era
Biofabrication is giving us the chance to act a radical change of frame and rethink the way we produce and consume, and more generally the way we live and relate to the Earth habitat through our behaviours – strongly entangled with and influenced by materials, resources and processes we use. The volume aims to provide an insight into how design should approach the transdisciplinary field of biofabrication in order to play an active part in such material revolution, acting on multiple scales and shifting from micro to macro to connect the dots.

This book presents the results of the FARB (Fondo d’Ateneo per la Ricerca di Base) research project RELIVE, conducted within the Department of Design of Politecnico di Milano. RELIVE aimed to explore and conceptualize a framework for designing living artefacts. The objectives of the research are the conceptualization of original theory regarding livingness and the exploration of design-oriented approaches to craft living artefacts using living materials and digital technologies.
