A presentation of the 21st Triennale di Milano International Exhibition, was organised by the Director of the Italian Institute of Culture in La Valletta, Salvatore Schirmo, with a view to promoting Italian design. With the support of videos, La Triennale General Director Andrea Cancellato took the audience on a journey through time and space, illustrating the main stages in the history of the exhibition. These included rare period images, showing the fundamental role played by the event since its foundation in 1923 to the present day. The 21st edition focuses on the subject “21st Century. Design after Design”.
As Mr Cancellato explained, the exhibition endeavours to explore the wide spread of design skills around the world in parallel with the development of global markets, as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of design, the elimination of disciplinary boundaries between architecture, urban planning, design, the visual arts, communication etc., and the new connections between these different disciplines.
