How can design focus on one's own identity, without neglecting what is external or different?

For example, the awareness of biases, discriminations and privileges, the capability to learn from everyone and everywhere, or the recognition of the complexity of the intersection of the different aspects of a person's social and political identities?

The identity of the Politecnico is key to defining the campus and conveying its values. Nonetheless, the identity of the students who spend their days on campus doesn't always match it. A-LIGN proposes a re-desgn of Politecnico's spaces in such a way that inspires students and connects them with each other and their university, bringing together the different identities (the institutional one and that of its students) in an engaging end dynamic academic environment where both can respectfully coexist.
