Living Design Academy - by ISMAT
Is a design education and research environment exploring the intersection between nature, technology and society.
Through our programs in Design, Circular Design and Biodesign, students engage with emerging challenges and develop innovative solutions for regenerative futures.
Our research and innovation community, The Living Design Collective, connects students, researchers, designers and industry partners in a global network exploring biomaterials, circular systems and future technologies.
Living Design Collective
The Living Design Collective is the research and innovation platform of the Living Design ecosystem at ISMAT, connecting education with practice through collaboration, experimentation and knowledge creation.
At its core is CITAI-FABXR research center, supporting research in design, biodesign, biomaterials, digital fabrication and emerging technologies.
Through the Biodesign Network and active participation in European projects, the Collective engages with international partners to explore new design approaches and sustainable solutions.
Strong links with industry ensure real-world application and innovation, while an active Alumni Network extends the impact of Living Design across professional fields and global contexts.
Together, the Collective creates a dynamic environment where research, collaboration and practice come together to shape regenerative futures.
