The Embassy of Italy in Washington and the Italian Cultural Institute of Washington, in collaboration with Italian Design Week, celebrate Italian Design Day 2026 with an exploration of sustainable design and creative empathy through the lens of Mario Cucinella Architects.
Featuring the MCA Sustainability Box—a traveling sculpture and interactive “totem of cards”—this event invites audiences to reimagine the relationship between humanity, nature, and technology. Architecture becomes more than construction: it is dialogue, listening, and responsibility.
