Abstract

Volume 17 of AGATHÓN marks the beginning of a new series dedicated to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. This volume focuses on the first five goals – No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, and Gender Equality – through projects, research, and experimental practices. The editorial emphasises the strategic role of design disciplines in contributing to the achievement of these goals, advocating for systemic, multidisciplinary, and multiscalar approaches capable of enhancing synergies and reducing trade-offs. In a global context marked by delays, inequalities, and interconnected crises, project – understood in its broad and transdisciplinary meaning – emerges as a tool capable of activating social, cultural, and ecological transformations. The selected contributions demonstrate how design can address crucial issues, including dignified housing, access to water and education, food security, mental and physical health, urban regeneration, social inclusion, and gender equity. Through case studies, replicable models, and operational tools, this issue offers a critical and forward-looking interpretation of the project. It emphasises the need for an integrated vision that transcends disciplinary, regulatory, and cultural boundaries, promoting a more open academic sphere and a project-oriented practice driven by spatial justice. The editorial calls for a collective commitment from the scientific community to recognise design as a transformative and responsible act, capable of connecting knowledge, space, and rights.
