Franco Albini, pictured here with Ernesto Nathan Rogers, Ignazio Gardella, and other colleagues at the CIAM School in Venice in 1955, where there was an atmosphere of exchange, dialogue, and vibrant collaboration.
No wall is climbed alone. There is a rope team, a bond that ties climbers together, a mutual trust that no one can afford to betray. The same is true in design. Acting with social responsibility means recognizing that every project is worthwhile only if it works for everyone: those who design it, those who build it, those who live in it, and those who will come after. The goal is not to reach the summit alone, but to chart a path that remains solid over time. This is why “Designing Possible Futures” was created—to experiment with co-creation and to foster the courage to set aside one’s own personal goals in the name of a project that creates value for everyone.
