This isn’t your typical airport.
The Specializing Master in Strategic Design reshapes the traveler experience through service innovation and AI. Highlights from the workshop with Bain & Company.

Airports are evolving from transport infrastructures into complex service ecosystems where retail, mobility, hospitality, entertainment, and digital services intersect. What might a more valuable, personalized, and business-relevant airport experience look like in the age of AI? This was the core question driving our students.
Acting as Strategic and Service Designers, they conducted research and envisioned new services, touchpoints, and business opportunities for airport operators. They explored the broader airport ecosystem beyond aviation, including pre-departure, landside, arrival, and transfer experiences.
The final outcomes and presentations brought forward ideas with real potential to make a difference.

Congratulations to all our students and thanks to Daniela Maurer (Product e Strategic Designer - Researcher and Adjunct Professor) and Leandro Sgro (Service and Strategic Designer) for their guidance.

Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping how services are designed and experienced.

From Spotify’s personalized playlists to McDonald’s adaptive menus, AI enables services to respond dynamically to contextual variables such as time, location, and user behavior.
As explored in Medium’s article “Service Design in the Age of AI” (by Matteo Mariani), this marks a shift from static journeys to systems that evolve in real time. Personalization is no longer optional—it is becoming the standard.
In this scenario, the Service Designer’s role is evolving. Designers are becoming multidisciplinary facilitators, connecting business, technology, and user needs while ensuring that AI-driven services remain human-centered, meaningful, and accessible. At the same time, they design the systems behind the solutions—defining frameworks, feedback loops, and ethical boundaries.
This transformation calls for new skills, including technical literacy, data sense-making, systems thinking, and ethical reasoning, with a growing focus on trust and adaptability.

Our Executive Course in Service Design for Systemic Change equips you with the tools to leverage AI both in the design process and as a core component of new service experiences—helping you address today’s social, economic, and environmental challenges.

A New Life for Plastic: Visit to SuperForma and Workshop of the Specializing Master in Design for Sustainability & Regeneration
Starting from the case study of MAIRE Group—a company committed to supporting the energy transition through the integration of technological innovation, engineering, and design—students were invited to explore and develop concepts for the reuse of plastic materials. In particular, they focused on a recycled polymer developed by NEXTCHEM, the Group company implementing sustainable technological solutions. The aim was to translate the principles of the circular economy into tangible design practices by engaging directly with real materials, production processes, and industrial partnerships.
As part of the Circular Economy module’s laboratory activities, students were guided by Mattia Ciurnelli, founder of SuperForma, a design studio specializing in digital fabrication, 3D printing, and the development of sustainable technologies. During the visit, participants worked on a real design brief and engaged hands-on in a professional context.
This experience offered a concrete demonstration of circular economy workflows—from waste repurposing to functional prototyping—highlighting how designers can embed closed-loop resource strategies into digital manufacturing processes to reduce environmental impact.
Workshops are a key milestone of the Specializing Master in Design for Sustainability & Regeneration. These practical experiences foster experimentation and the development of new ideas, bridging theory and real-world application.

"Matter in Motion" — Material Becomes Experience
POLI.design × Gruppo Mauro Saviola · Fuorisalone 2026
What happens to matter when you give it intention, a voice — almost a personality?
That question was at the heart of our event at Fondazione Sozzani, born from an intensive research program developed with Saviolab and Gruppo Mauro Saviola. Nine designers from China explored the Saviola Ecological Panel not as a material to work with, but as an expressive element to work through — transforming it into author posters and concept furniture that reinterpret masterworks of Italian painting.
Research, sensoriality, and interdisciplinary dialogue were the values that guided the process. The results gave them tangible form.
A deep thank-you to the designers who made it real:
Wu Li · Yan Jing · Yang Xue · Wang Yijun · Ma Tao · Zhang Kai · Lin Changyong · Li Juan · Sun Lin
And to everyone who made it possible: Daniele Merla and Ilaria Bertelli from ; Michael Chen and Miner Xiong from Saviolab; project development: Mario Bisson, Alice Cristina Zingales, and Anqi Wang; and faculty: Anna Barbara, Valentina Rognoli, and Nicolò Gobino. POLI.design team: Giulia Pellegrino, Xin Li, Bianca Bartolomeo, Marianne Fosca, Sofia d'Alessandro.
Special thanks to .hub , Maurizio Lai Studio, and Triennale Milano for hosting us.
