Italian term
incursioni nei territori delle arti applicate
Italian to English
Art/Literary
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Il concetto di "total design" della sua ricerca progettuale - dall'oggetto di uso quotidiano alla riqualificazione di aree urbane con incursioni nei territori delle arti applicate e dell'arte, come i suoi originali acquerelli - sara` invece il tema dell'antologica al Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, dal 20/8 to 12/1/2003. incursioni = incursions in the field of applied art? Thanks!

If it's meant, as it seems, to underline the occasional nature or the irregularity of X's activity in this field (more than the "military" aspect of them)

with excursions into the fields of fine and applied arts
We are talking about a designer, one of those who feels capable of taking on anything from "the cucchiaio alla citta'".
So I propose:
"...--from everyday objects to urban redevelopment, with excursions into the fields of fine and applied arts, such as his original watercolours--..."
(There is a bit of misunderstanding above: his excursions into fine and applied arts do not refer to his work on an urban scale, but to his work in general.)

FORAY
Hazon (Garzanti) mi dà questa parola, foray, proprio da usare per il senso figurato (di incursione), con frasi del tipo:
"with an occasional foray into art..." oppure "forays into the field of ... arts", quindi direi:
"with forays into applied arts and the arts in general" o qualcosa del genere.
