• What would it be to transform BASE into a place of political presence where designers, artists and students live and reinvent the space?
• WE WILL DESIGN seeks to imagine new forms of coexistence and interdependence based on Convivialism principles such as cooperation, democracy, dialogue between cultures, equal dignity, and ecological responsibility. We want to explore the ability to create different forms of interdependent relationships, contemplating our behaviours, feelings, and spatiality.​ We will use performativity as a tool to rewrite the spatial conditions of everyday life.​ We will promote the fantastic and the desirable as guiding principles. We will commit ourselves to creating exceptional and ordinary rituals to share with the visitors and citizens of the design week. ​

• During the Design Week 2024 BASE opens the doors of its spaces to the construction of a temporary community of emerging designers, architects, and artists who will live and work within the spaces.
• Those will be transformed for the occasion into a laboratory of “conviviality” that invites visitors to reflect on the most innovative practices of coexistence, cohabitation and sharing currently present in Europe and their interrelation with the spectre of migration, gender, ability, health, and cultural background.​

Our desire to imagine a possible new future cannot be limited to one week a year. This is why BASE chooses to go beyond the confines of Design Week and proposes an approach that uses design as a tool for collective research and construction that can no longer be achieved through a short exhibition of projects but also through design residences and collaborative projects.

WE WILL DESIGN double approach can unfold as a longer journey that will develop throughout the year and culminate during Design Week or can be a shorter experience during one of the greatest moments of creative expression on the international stage in Milan. WE WILL DESIGN will involve emerging designers, design universities as well as arange of cross-disciplinary learning experiences so as to offer a vision that blends architecture, urban design, social design, relational design, public design as well as graphic design and the art world.

• We are eager to collaborate with entities that have a focus on process-driven concepts and projects such as:
• - Education centres looking for new challenges;
• - Designers who wants to confront themselves with a collaborative way of working and producing design;
• - Universities which are interested working hands by hands with a cultural institution and let their students to create out of their comfort zone.
• As well as offering the opportunity to exhibit, BASE can also provide the participants with the chance to co-create a project and to develop it through a shared design process over the course of the months, with a possible exhibition moment during Design Week. We are also open to collaborate in the joint creation of residencies and site-specific projects.
