The complexity of today’s environmental and social challenges calls for an interdisciplinary approach capable of understanding the connections between different issues and envisioning alternative scenarios. Design, which has traditionally played a catalytic role in bringing together diverse contributions, is a transformative discipline: it practices the future and can make a significant contribution to environmental, socio-cultural, economic, and political sustainability. The role, methods, and tools of the discipline are presented through research and projects addressing some of the key issues of our time: the more-than-human perspective, decolonial approaches, the Mediterranean as a space of cultural exchange, interculturality, the enhancement of small and often marginal territories, and the exploration of a conscious approach to technology.
