Abstract

This chapter examines the central role of education and research in Alberto Seassaro’s work, highlighting his early commitment to reforming design pedagogy. His approach is characterized by a strong integration between research and teaching and by the development of innovative methodological frameworks. The influence of key mentors and the shift toward technological and systemic thinking are emphasized, alongside the impact of the political and cultural transformations of the late 1960s and 1970s. Through experimental teaching practices, Seassaro redefines design education as a socially engaged and interdisciplinary activity, laying the foundations for future institutional developments.
