Delli Press - The Art of Materialising Design at Universidade Lusófona

At Lusófona University, Design education goes beyond the classroom. Through the Delli Programme – which includes the Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Design and the Master’s Degree in Design – we promote a learning model based on practical experience, critical reflection, and direct connection with social and cultural contexts.

Learning Engine

The Delli functions as a genuine creative ecosystem, where different generations, knowledge, and practices intersect. Professors, invited professionals, and students work side by side in the development of editorial projects that reflect the diversity of design thinking.

Inside and Outside the Academic Environment

Delli Press publications are showcased at national and international events, independent publishing fairs, libraries, and specialised collections. In this way, the content produced within the scope of Delli gains visibility and relevance beyond the academic environment, fostering connections between design, society, and contemporary culture.

This approach encourages shared learning, where authorship is built collaboratively and each publication represents the outcome of a collective experience combining research, practice, and creation.

More Than Aesthetic

At Lusófona University, we train professionals capable of thinking design beyond its aesthetic function. The projects developed within Delli and Delli Press aim to question the present, reflect on the future, and establish dialogues with transforming communities.
