Ivan Pecorari
Doctoral Trainee
As a transdisciplinary designer, I merge design and research, collaborating closely with cultural institutions and organisations to give form and narrative to visions, strategies and spaces. I've been part of several European and UK R&D projects, designed an exhibition on video games at the V&A museum, and facilitated the digital transformation of an F1 racing team's car assembly processes. My academic journey includes an MA in Architecture from the University of Ferrara and an MA in interaction design from Domus Academy. In 2023, I completed an MA in research at the Royal College of Art.
My playful and interactive work critically explores the design disciplines moving toward alternative ecological futures. My approach looks at dialogues, interactions and playing as methods of ethical transformation. I combine research, spatial design and interactive digital systems with particular attention to participation and co-creation in situated contexts.
My current research examines digital technologies for social justice and transformative futures, focusing on dialogues and decision-making between human and nonhuman agents through role-play and speculative practices.
