At the end of the 28th Design Biennial, we invite you to join us at the Design Perspectives Symposium, which will take place on 27 March 2025, from 14.30 to 20.00 at the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO).
Through a series of discussions, it will focus on three thematic strands – New Priorities, New Territories, and New Stages – that will address current issues in the design profession, examine its expansion into new disciplines, and analyze the ways in which it is communicated and mediated.
