RUFA Annual Report selezionato per ADI Design Index 2026

An important recognition for an editorial project created to mark RUFA’s 25th anniversary and conceived not simply as an institutional document, but as a shared design experience capable of conveying the Academy’s identity through people, projects, research and experimentation.

The volume was designed by Intorno Design through a 48-hour creative marathon involving 50 selected students, supported by designers, photographers, visual artists, copywriters and coordinating lecturers.

The result is an Annual Report conceived as a journey through RUFA. The narrative opens with ten keywords that interpret the Academy’s identity across past, present and future, before moving through the thesis projects from Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree programmes, as well as the events, talks and activities that shaped the academic year.

These contents are complemented by infographics developed according to the Data Humanism approach, transforming data into narrative tools capable of visually conveying the complexity, relationships and human dimension of the Academy.

The graphic and material choices are also an integral part of the project. The die-cut dust jacket, revealing the names of the people involved in creating the volume, and the final photographic reportage reinforce the collective nature of the entire process.

More than simply recounting an academic year, the RUFA Annual Report 2023–2024 thus becomes a statement of method: a project in which education and professional practice, research and experimentation, individual design and collective work come together within the same creative process.
