Brief History
The school was first founded in 1966 in Milan by Francesco Morelli.
"We founded the Istituto Europeo di Design in 1966 under a guiding idea that ever since has inspired didactic methods and educational pathways: the philosophies of "knowing" and "knowing-how to" must grow and mature together. Directly tackling the process of knowledge acquisition enabled us to understand its innermost meaning. Respecting the mindsets of the market and of the academic thinking, we opted for a more authentic, up-to-date culture of design. We conceived and built the school of projects: an authentic and modern culture.Over decades of practice, we have dug into knowledge, analyzed all processes of doing and verified theories.
Now we fully understand what carrying out an idea right up to its concrete realization means, and today we teach how to do this. Five seats – and the intention of becoming more and more projected towards a consolidated international dimension – giving evidence of our history and the spirit that has led our activities to the present day."

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
