given that:
The Degree Course in Design of the University of the Republic of San Marino, in the persons of the directors Professor Massimo Brignoni and Professor Riccardo Varini, have started various basic and applied research projects to help communities and territories in identifying cultural, social, material and immaterial resources and accompany them during the processes of design, implementation and valorization.
Community Design is the set of research, reflections, activities that the research group has experimented over time and in a continuous and interdisciplinary way in front of heritages and values on which traditional, new or hybrid communities recognize themselves.
Community Design means reflecting on responsibilities and strategies to imagine new system design actions that have cultural, economic and social repercussions in the contexts in which they operate. A work of conceptual connection and stitching that courageously crosses areas considered distant, perceived as different and divided. A work of continuous connection between small and large, between inside and outside, between local and global, between material and immaterial.
The scientific objectives were to verify the ways in which the discipline of design can contribute to new development strategies in local, national and international contexts. Different methods of intervention were tested and in particular some themes were explored in depth: the definition of strategies for activating actions and actors in local supply chains, methodologies for technology transfer in compliance with local cultures and traditions and the role of design in the processes of artisanal or industrial cultural development of small businesses. The research conducted so far highlights the importance of training and the creation of critical knowledge generated from within as primary and basic issues in every evolutionary process and in the future it will have to take into account both the methods of communication and interaction offered by the network and the new scenarios induced by the processes of productive, social and economic globalization.
