Since its inception ten years ago, the highly articulated and academically teeming course on industrial design of La Sapienza University in Rome has come to play an important role on the national scene under the direction of its president, Professor Tonino Paris, and with its highly renowned masters and research doctorates is attracting increasing attention and enrolments also from abroad.

The course currently offers a three-year undergraduate degree in Industrial Design. Students receive wide-ranging education and training, becoming proficient in the technical and design activities necessary for the definition of an industrial product or system of products. The undergraduate student may choose from a number of majors depending on vocational orientation, including visual and graphic design, web design, interface design, ergonomic design, eco-design, packaging, interior design, exhibition design, public design, product and furniture design, transport and nautical design, and lighting design.

A post-graduate degree in Industrial Design and Communication is also run in collaboration with professional associations and industry. Designers taking this specialisation train in the aesthetic and communicative aspects of material artefacts and non-tangible products typical of advanced societies, learning how to be creative and how to put ideas into practice and carry them through to their full realisation.

The master and doctorate courses are at the peak of the academic and vocational training ladder. The master fully qualifies students to cover important posts in the design and design management sector. The doctorate is aimed at students especially interested in design innovation and willing to experiment. It fully qualifies for full scale work on advanced industrial design projects with stages in other Italian and foreign universities, business
corporations, government agencies, and public and private research centres.

From the start, this veritable school of industrial design has always been actively engaged in collaborating with industry and professional associations, assigning teaching posts to renowned professionals and adopting an educational approach based on hands-on experiences in the field.

The work carried out for illywords by the students of the post-graduate specialisation course under the guidance of Michele Spera, Daniele Trebbi and Ombretta Giovannini witnesses to the School’s desire and commitment to open itself up and out to new experiences in a strong, innovative spirit.

  • Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

    TAMA TREE. Collaborate in resetting the planet’s techno-ecological balance... grow your own virtual tree!!!

  • UNIVERSITY OF STUDIES OF ROME “LA SAPIENZA”

  • Fabio Amoroso

    Techno-ecology: making for a maternally caring relationship between the natural and the artificial. A fine balance and humankind is its keeper.

  • Fabio Amoroso - Lucia Cesarone

    As in any game, the survival of the environment depends on the intelligent use of resources.

  • Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

    FUTURE. Symbiotic fusion... in search of technological knowledge... to once more discover that the path to follow passes through nature.

  • Mario Aquaro

    Servants to progress Techno strain on and drain of environmental and human resources.

  • Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

    CORRUPTION. Nature wounded and defiled by ongoing technological incursions...

  • Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

    ACIRBBAF. A dream world, a fantasy universe, the ancestral dream of a symbiotic coexistence, a technology truly in the service of nature

  • Eirini Skafida

    ENVIROMENT. It’s our options that can turn our relationship with the environment into an asset. When technology combines with eco-friendly awareness, then there’s hope for a viable future.

  • Mario Aquaro

    THE SOLUTION? Several issues are raised and possible solutions suggested, except one... (correspondence identified by colour)

  • Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

    THE ROBOT AND I. Collaboration... a path to be walked down together, man and machine, to protect and to care for the greatest resource of all.

  • Fabio Amoroso - Lucia Cesarone

    Technological development depends on a natural metamorphosis for re-establishing a primeval balance…

  • Rosa Elena Celestino

    The hands represent man, because they’re what distinguish us from other lifeforms, permitting us to make our own future ourselves. Technology is the potential that man holds within those hands, and only man can decide whether it is to be used for better or for worse. In this case technology can and must be used to defend life, shown here emblematically as a delicate flower.

  • Rosa Elena Celestino

    Changing the equation: the marriage of man and technology has the potential for changing what that marriage produces and in doing so pollutes the planet, thus making up for their errors.

  • Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

    IDENTITY. A new identity, a universe strained through the technological sieve that has reached a stage that it cannot be put aside or undone. A symbiotic relationship between nature and technology, man and machine.

  • Fabio Amoroso - Lucia Cesarone

    TECHNO-ECOLOGY: for seeing beyond the seeable.

  • Eirini Skafida

    ECO-SYSTEM. The set of organisms living in any given and spatially limited natural habitat are inseparably linked to one another and give rise to mutual interactions.

  • Valeria Ringegni

    Separately collected fraction is emblematic of the attention that should be given to recycling, technology, and to the state of the planet at large!

  • Eirini Skafida

    PACKAGING. Regardless of what’s packed into an object, what counts and what makes it appealing is its outer packaging, and that’s where a bit of technoecology can make the difference.

  • Paolo Tesei

    IS KYOTO ENOUGH? There’s a lot of hard feeling at the continued refusal by the U.S. and China to sign the Kyoto Protocol. But is the Protocol really enough to save the environment? Seeing as the dollar (our one and only religion) is what make our world tick, will technoecology suffice to turn the tables on the prevailing pollution/profit order of things?

  • Valeria Ringegni

    A preview of technologies to come!

  • Filippo Pernisco

    Technology: makes life easier but it’s a mixed blessing. Collateral damages have to be kept under check!

  • Elisa D’Ortenzio - Tommaso Venettoni

    EN PLAN AIR. A deceptive landscape like an en plan air painting in which technology and ecology merge and appear to be the same.

  • Andrea Camillini

    ECO-COLOUR. Add technology and the natural colour of a leaf is just like you want it.

  • Roberto Avenoso
