What is an Icsid Interdesign?
Icsid Interdesigns are intensive two-week long workshops where seasoned and young design professionals from around the world gather to work collaboratively to propose global solutions to regional problems of international significance. Combining the expertise of designers with specialists from other industries offers a multicultural and multidisciplinary approach to a specific problem. Although often addressed in a regional perspective, these workshops are developed in a manner that allows participants to explore innovative solutions that may be used as models or references for implementation in different regions of the world.
