Scientific Director, Fabio Novembre

THE SHAPE OF CONTENT I have always been fascinated by Domus Academy for its pivotal role in the field of Design, Fashion and Education and I am honoured now to share my experience and my vision as Domus Academy Scientific Director. Domus Academy is well known to have a strong Italian identity blended with a multidisciplinary international mark, and for me it is an invaluable challenge to have the opportunity to represent this institution in Italy and abroad. Like Domus Academy, my idea of Design and Fashion is rooted in the tradition of Italian Design, but draws also on other fields, like cinema, music, art and nature, creating a net of lively inspirations. I am also a keen supporter of the design spread on different scales, “from the spoon to the city”, as Ernesto Nathan Rogers said. Since its foundation over 35 years ago, Domus Academy has always been a hub of innovation and visionary design. Students can gain knowledge and practical skills by experimenting and collaborating with some of the most exciting brands in fashion, product design, interaction design, luxury goods, and more. Our students are challenged to find creative solutions in order to broaden boundaries by a multidisciplinary approach, finding connections with other disciplines and developing lateral thinking. Domus Academy is a stimulating environment, a place of enriching exchange of ideas, creating the basis for the development of students’ own creative and professional identity.
