Associazione per il Disegno Industriale 'Industrial Design Association' (ADI), is an Italian professional organisation of about 1,100 architects, designers, manufacturers, trade journalists, academics, and design universities.[1] Its primary purpose is the promotion of good design in Italy and abroad. The ADI is responsible for the administration of the Compasso d'Oro design awards and an associated museum.[2]
History and purpose
[edit]The ADI was founded in 1956 in Milan by a group of prominent architects, designers, and industrialists including Gio Ponti, Alberto Rosselli, Giulio Castelli, and Livio Castiglioni (who, respectively, served as the first three presidents of the organisation).[3][4]
The objective of the ADI is to promote and enhance the understanding of and impact of high-quality Italian and international design as an industrial, economic, and cultural phenomenon.[5]
The biennial Compasso d'Oro award, considered to be the most prestigious industry accolade, is granted by the ADI. A collection of Compasso d'Oro winning designs and other material related to the history and practice of design in Italy and abroad is held by the ADI Design Museum in Milan.[6][7][5]
