Abstract
We want to promote a reflection about a revolution that happened in our lives in the year of 2020 when suddenly we became “imprisoned” trying to have a “new “normal life for which we were not prepared. Humanity should be prepared for this kind of challenges because its history is also the history of pandemics. In 2020 the world has assumed its vulnerability, its fragility face to the unknown. As Bernard-Henri Levi said, the virus is shaking the world and humanity has gone mad. We suddenly became aware of the fragility of social boundaries; Žižek said: the classic definition of society - humans among humans, became meaningless. We pretend to promote a discussion and a reflection about the role of Design facing this majour challenges: how Design can, or should, be applied to a new reality on the behalf of security, but also on sociability and the preservation of intimacy knowing for sure that it will happen again.
