We Will Design is a large experimental laboratory that every year welcomes and promotes projects by designers from all over the world, schools, universities, international institutions and young students.

A path that goes on throughout the year with residencies and international exchanges, where the practices and experiences of design become a tool to read – and sometimes solve – the many contradictions of our present.
A test for projects that see the light and meet the public at the Design Week.

Design can help us to read our present
and build our future.

This is the fourth edition of We Will Design.
A path that goes on throughout the year with residencies and international exchanges, where the practices and experiences of design become a tool to read – and sometimes solve – the many contradictions of our time.
