This October, the Faculty of Design will once again open its doors to Urban October, an international month dedicated to design, cities, communities, public space, housing, sustainability and the many questions that shape the way we live together.

At the Faculty of Design, Urban October is much more than a programme of events. It is a space for learning, meeting, questioning, creating and connecting. Throughout the month, our students will have the opportunity to take part in lectures, workshops, design talks, exhibitions, conferences and guided visits that connect different fields of design — from interior design, visual communications and fashion, to textiles, design management, sustainable development and the wider culture of living.

During October, we will also mark World Habitat Day, an important international observance dedicated to the future of cities and the fundamental right to adequate shelter.
