Moving Beyond the Border between the arts and design means establishing a constructive dialogue between the design culture and the culture of creativity and initiating a reflection on a method that favours a new conception of design for the third millennium. The aim is to reimagine the role of cultural and creative industries, the true supply chain of the know-how and wealth that identify Italy, and the sole alternative for restoring meaning to our history, with an eye on our future. This book brings together the different contributions presented during the international convention organised by the ISIA Faenza in occasion of the 12th Premio Nazionale delle Arti, Design section 2017. Its symbolic publication at the end of the centenary anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus reopens debate on the disciplinary statues of design and responds to the need to question its educational models. This is equally true of the pressing considerations on teaching design and the determinant role that higher institutions of artistic education can and must have in re-designing new paradigms and scenarios for the future of design.
