Auditorium (bldg. 20)
In a more open and complex world, human societies, in all their diversity, are facing the same problem: how can we live together? How can we promise a good life for all? Dominique Sciamma, Managing Director of Strate School of Design, believes that we need to embrace a new systemic approach, instead of the old Cartesian “divide to conquer” strategy. This approach is called design.
