As part of London Design Festival, Dezeen teamed up with Istituto Marangoni to host a talk with the school's art director Giulio Cappellini on sustainability and its place in design education.
Chaired by Dezeen's assistant editor for design and environment Jennifer Hahn, the talk explored the importance of teaching sustainability on design courses and how it can be taught effectively.
The talk coincided with the inaugural Design Graduates Show at fashion and design school Istituto Marangoni London, which exhibits work by the first graduates from the school?s new design programmes.
