ISIA Roma Design, a state school of design under the aegis of
the Ministry of Public Education, was founded in 1973 by Giulio
Carlo Argan. It sprang from the need to train highly professional
designers who would uphold the fine European intellectual and
teaching tradition, following in the footsteps of the Bauhaus and the
Hochschule fur Gestaltung of Ulm. From these schools it inherited
and developed a methodological framework of excellence which it
combined with Italians’ great talent for creativity and innovation.

ISIA Roma Design has received a set of prizes: two ADI “Golden
Compass” prize and nine ADI “Gold Plate”, a Medal and a Plaque of
the President of the Republic, a postage stamp of the Poste Italiane,
eleven SYDA Samsung awards and about another 230 national and
international awards.

ISIA Roma Design considers the act of designing as an essential moment
in the dialectic exchange and interaction between the individual
and society, in demand and sustainability, expression and reflection,
considering Design as a configuration of excellence in every type of
production of instruments and ideas.
After forty-five years of activity, based on research and
experimentation, the university today can boast of a rich cultural
heritage as well as scientific and teaching experience practically
unequalled in Italy. It is therefore in a position to provide students with
the tools to understand the deep socio-economic and technological
changes taking place and to translate them into their creative work,
qualifying the designer as both bearer of a renewed material culture and
as interpreter of the immateriality of our times.
