Design unfolds across time, at the intersection of past, present, and future.
What we inherit, what we experience, and what we imagine are never separate — they are interdependent forces shaping the systems, values, and realities we design for.
Across ten domains — capabilities, emotions, places, paradigms, communities, institutions, infrastructures, care, justice, and tools — INTERDEPENDENCE 2026 explores how these temporal layers evolve, collide, and reinforce one another.
How can design engage with time to shape more equitable, resilient, and meaningful futures?
#MilanoDesignWeek #MDW26 #Fuorisalone #Designpolimi #Interdependence @polimi
The Polimi Open Day has come to an end, presenting this year’s theme, 'past, present, future', within INTERDEPENDENCE.
A day of conversations, exchanges, and discoveries brought together students, professors, and visitors.
From the exploration of design’s role in shaping ties across temporal dimensions to a preview of upcoming exhibitions, the event offered a valuable opportunity for connection and shared reflection.
The journey continues at Milan Design Week 2026, stay tuned for upcoming updates!
