The 21st Triennale will focused on some key questions and new dramatic concepts of design, which consists mainly in its ability to deal with those anthropological issues that classical modernity has excluded from its brief; the impact of globalization on design; the transformations brought about by the dawn of the twenty-first century; the relationship between city and design; between design and the accessibility of new information technologies; and between design and craftsmanship.
