Ezio Manzini

Ezio Manizini, from DESIS Network, Italy, is our fourth confirmed speaker!

For over three decades, he has worked in the field of sustainable design. Recently, his focus has shifted to social innovation, which is considered a significant driver of sustainable change. With this perspective, he founded DESIS: an international network of design schools engaged in social innovation and sustainability.

Currently, he serves as the President of the DESIS Network and is an Honorary Professor at the Politecnico di Milano. In the past decade, he has been a guest professor at various design schools worldwide, including Elisava – Design School and Engineering (Barcelona), Tongji University (Shanghai), Jiangnan University (Wuxi), University of the Arts (London), CPUT (Cape Town), and Parsons – The New School for Design (NYC).

His recent publications include “Design, When Everybody Designs” (MIT Press, 2015), “Politics of the Everyday” (Bloomsbury, 2019), and “Plug-ins: Design for City Making in Barcelona” (co-authored with Albert Fuster and Roger Paez, Elisava and Actar Publishers, 2023).
