Big stage, bigger ideas: our Communication and Graphic Design students and Alumni brought their strongest work to BIG – Biennale Internazionale Grafica 2026 and made their mark.
It all kicked off on 22 October at the Centrale dell’Acqua di Milano, where our MA students revealed “Reinventing Centrale”, nine fresh reinterpretations of its identity created with MM Spa.
The next day, the vibe moved to our Milan campus for the first “NABA Paper Jam”, a full-on celebration of indie publishing where students and Alumni publications took over the space, with live drawing and a bookbinding workshop open to everyone. Selected creators then pitched their work to an industry jury.
Then, on 25 October, we wrapped things up at the ADI Design Museum with “This Charming Mag”, our talk on independent magazines as a teaching project.

Every legendary scene needs a world to happen in, and set designers are the ones building it from scratch. 🎭
At NABA Milan, it all starts in the Set Design Lab, where sketches turn into scale models and wild ideas finally get their own stage.
In this video, Denise Carnini (NABA Faculty) gives us the full tour, telling us what students take on from day one, how she helps them take an idea off the page and into real space, and why vision and storytelling count as much as technique.
Plus, she explains why this lab is the place to grow, where you learn to think in 3D and give every story the space it deserves!

No one explains the NABA Summer Courses better than the students who’ve done them, so we asked last year’s participants from around the world to tell it like it is.
It all started with picking a city: Milan or Rome, or both for those who couldn’t choose. Then came two intensive weeks packed with NABA’s best know-how, covering contemporary topics in all the creative subjects taught across the NABA Areas.
The approach was hands-on and interdisciplinary: they worked on real projects with lecturers and industry pros, while getting to know the art and culture of their host city.
By the end, some had fallen for Italian Design, others had found creative sides they’d never explored, and others just loved living the Italian way of life with new friends from everywhere. But that’s not all.

NABA Roma was back at Maker Faire Rome, Europe’s biggest event for innovation and creativity, for the third year running and once again showed up with something surprising: our Graphic Design and Art Direction students brought AURORA.
We’re talking about a student project born in the Computer Art course, led by NABA lecturers Gregorio Comandini and Saverio Villirillo, the minds behind Liminal State. The idea: mixing design culture, innovation, visual communication and creative thinking to tackle the challenges of the world we live in today.
Over three days at the Gazometro, the students showed it off to a massive crowd and swapped ideas with pros, companies, institutions, and creative communities from all over Europe, walking everyone through the process behind it.
Basically, a seriously huge stage for their talent and a reminder that design and communication have a lot to say about the future.

Broken ceramics, mended with intention: three of our BA in Design students won at Contest 3W 🏆
Last semester, guided by lecturer Natascia Fenoglio, our students dug into care as what comes after a crack, answering the brief from Contest 3W, a competition connecting companies and academies since 2019. The theme drew on Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending ceramics with gold, framing every break as history.
The whole class got hands-on in the Set Design Lab at the NABA Milan campus, mixing hand-building and 3D printing to make ceramic objects that wear their fractures loud and proud.
Every project then competed in the Design and Communication section of the contest against other academies, and on 16 October, three of ours won awards.
Big up to the students who made them: Lapo Verga, Emanuele Spada and Nicolò Maccarone!
