Ricerca e fotografia: trasferimento di conoscenza per la transizione socio-ecologica = Research and Photography: Knowledge Transfer for Socio-Ecological Transition
No full textRicercare una fotografia che indichi non solo nuovi metodi per vedere, nuovi alfabeti visivi, ma soprattutto una fotografia che abbia come presupposto uno stato di necessità. Ricercare una fotografia che instauri nuovi rapporti dialettici tra autore ed esterno, nuove strade, nuovi concetti, nuove idee, per entrare in rap-
porto con il mondo, cercarne modalità di rappresentazione adeguate, per restituire immagini, figure, perché fotografare il mondo sia anche un modo per comprenderlo (Ghirri, 1997, p. 79)
Design for Emergencies: An Educational Exhibition as a Medium for Design Reflection
No full textEmergencies—whether climatic, geological, or humanitarian—have increasingly become critical
contexts for design action, requiring new interdisciplinary approaches and reflective practices. This
paper presents an educational exhibition as an intermediate output of the research project “Design and
Emergency. Interdisciplinary design methods for prevention, management, and reconstruction in
emergency situations”, funded by Iuav University of Venice (Italy). The project aims to explore the role
of design in emergencies and to structure an interdisciplinary group capable of building a shared and
effective body of knowledge to address such crises.
Curated and organized by two design students, the exhibition showcases projects developed within
product, interior and communication design courses, at both bachelor's and master's levels, focused on
emergency challenges. Positioned at the intersection of research and education, the exhibition functions
not only as a display of student work but also as a medium for critical reflection. It seeks to activate
dialogue within the academic community around the social and scientific relevance of emergencies as
design domains, and to question how design education can contribute to shaping professionals who are
capable of engaging with complex, urgent global challenges. The paper reflects on educational insights
and the potential of exhibitions as tools for disseminating knowledge and fostering a reflective design
culture attuned to contemporary emergencies
