Director of EducationMark AndersonFOCUS ON VISIONDomus Academy was born from a disruptive and visionary philosophy in a period in which Italian Designsuccessfully spread internationally. A group of practitioners and thinkers joined forces to run a laboratoryof ideas, experimenting and exploring. Students, emerging and experienced professionals, critics andintellectuals, gathered together to discuss and investigate the world to come—how they as designerscould contribute and project change—to examine systems, challenging the status quo to construct andreflect on possible futures.This same spirit is integrated into the current pedagogical approach (common to all of the 11 masterprograms) that combines inquiry and experiential learning components in an atelier-like environment.Seminars and workshops become the framework in which students, alongside the professors, becamethe protagonists in design discourse, challenging the project’s space and developing and applying acritical mindset. The goal is to go beyond the immediate, to think on a broader scale in order to return,to inform, or even reformulate the particular issue at hand.With renewed urgency, our academic endeavours and programmes aim to prepare the studentsto manage the complexity of change and articulate the thoughts and ideas that will shape and guideour contemporary and future context.

89Learning by designingDomus Academy is a talent incubator and a springboard tointerdisciplinary adventures.It encourages students to work in a cross-disciplinary way andapply the school’s learning by designing methodology to combinea meticulous, rigorous and robust approach with their creativevision.Domus Academy methodology balances the theoretical with the practicalby integrating classroom theory with workshop practice, boosting handson training supported by cultural research, and forming multidisciplinaryproject teams to inform and enrich individual creative talents. Central tothe success of the Domus Academy approach are its professors: capableeducators who are also highly talented designers.Many run their own studios and companies while others hail from leadingfashion houses, architecture firms and design retail, bringing a relevant,real-world perspective to their lectures and group projects.Some of our present and past collaborators include: Andrea Branzi,Humberto & Fernando Campana, Ennio Capasa, Matali Crasset, IldoDamiano, Alessandro Dell’Acqua, Diego Dolcini, Joseph Forakis, NaotoFukasawa, Roberto Giolito, Stefano Giovannoni, Riccardo Grassi, KostantinGrcic, Ezio Manzini, Flavio Manzoni, Francesco Morace, Setsu Ito, MarioTrimarchi, Clino Trini Castelli, Gaia Trussardi, Jan Christoph Zoels and manyothers.Students not only develop the expertise necessary to tackle designproblems, but also identify problems for which design can offer effectivesolutions. Essential to Domus Academy’s methodology are the challengesoffered by our professional partners, leading Italian and internationalcompanies that the school works with.These invaluable opportunities give students vital, real-world experience,and the problem-setting pedagogic approach helps them developcritical thinking and problem-solving skills.
