Design Convivio. An imaginary dinner between eight polytechnic masters

On the occasion of Università Svelate – National Universities Day, the Department of Design invites you to discover the installation Design Convivio.

Curated by Giampiero Bosoni together with Paola Bertola, the exhibition is an integral part of the Design Philology project and gives tangible form to the origins of the process through which design became institutionalized at the Politecnico di Milano.

The installation stages an imaginary dialogue between some of the forerunners protagonists of this path. The figures chosen to represent its fundamental passages are Gio Ponti, Franco Albini, Carlo De Carli, Marco Zanuso, Achille Castiglioni, Vittoriano Viganò, Alberto Rosselli and Raffaella Crespi, all graduates of Politecnico and then professors at the same university in founding subjects for design culture.
