ADI (Associazione per il Disegno Industriale) is an Italian association of about 1.100 architects, designers, manufacturers, trade journalists, academics and design universities.[1] Each year, the ADI awards its Compasso d'Oro design awards.
History and purpose
The ADI was founded in 1956 in Milan by a group of prominent architects, designers, and industrialists including Шаблон:Ill, Шаблон:Ill, and Livio Castiglioni (who, respectively, served as the first three presidents of the organisation).[2]
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.[3]
The annual 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.[4][5][3]
