This open access book intends to present a speculative, emergent and often radical approach to designing that draws on interdisciplinary research to explore the boundaries of design for contemporary and future spaces, observing reality through the critical lens of opposing dualisms which, precisely in their interval, define the value of the incredible versatility of being able to design between space and time, local and global, nature and artifice, science and art, technological and humanistic knowledge. The work gathers also experimental teaching and learning results collected during the six-year coordination period of the Master of Science in Interior and Spatial Design at the Politecnico di Milano | School of Design – from 2016to 2021 – which saw the Coordinator Board, together with colleagues and experts, draw a parallel and alternative line of study of design.
