ILC and Domus Academy are promoters of  'The Culture of Italian Design: An Interplay with’, an event aimed at fostering the circulation of ideas between the Italian and Chinese design sectors.

Aldo Cibic, Dante Donegani and Stefano Giovannoni, some of the leading Italian designers, will discuss on the theme of the Expo, "Better City, Better Life", presenting the central issues of today’s architecture while sharing their experiences of designing anything that ranges from single products to urban landscapes. Some of the most important designers and experts in the Chinese design sector, Chen Yao-Guang, Lu Wen-Yu and Song Wei-Jian will share these experiences with them. Yu Ting, of the Shanghai Modern Architectural Design Group, will moderate the discussion forum.

 

Shanghai’s Expo 2010, with its theme Better City, Better Life is the ideal opportunity to develop these concepts and to bring together Italy and China, whose relationship is made even closer by the fact that Milan is the city to which Shanghai will pass the baton for the next Expo in 2015.
