Collective Pedagogies for an Anti-Disciplinary Design Education

The Department of Architecture & Design-DAD at Politecnico di Torino proudly announces the inaugural Collective Pedagogies for an Anti-Disciplinary Design Education Roundtable.
This two-day symposium, which will take place on January 16 - 17, 2025, at the historic Castello del Valentino in Torino, will explore the transformative concept of “anti-disciplinary” approaches in design education.
Mitesh Dixit, Francesco Carota, Fedah Taqi, and Lidia Preti will curate the event.

The roundtable serves as the first in a series of discussions aimed at refining the Collective Pedagogies initiative.
Anchored in the philosophy of Sunyata, which emphasizes radical impermanence and adaptability, the event invites participants to critique and reimagine the future of design education collaboratively.
