Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The world socio-economic structures are going through some radical changes. In parallel we witness an exponential growth of technology. In this contest, design and design education are undergoing an impressive evolution process. The paper focus to the components that are acting as major elements of change (e.g.: open source design, self-fabrication, knowledge integration, remote teamwork, etc.). The paper aims to document what the School of Design at Politecnico di Milano is doing in order to face these changes. A description of third year Laboratories will be provided. Moreover, essential requirements to fulfil, in order to achieve a Design Bachelorâs Degree at the Politecnico di Milano, will be described. The School of Design has financed a base research program on auto-production. Goals and organization of the research will be shared in the paper. Open questions for discussion are: how to update teacherâs knowledge regularly and how this process could become a standard procedure in design education.
