Avvicinare. Rafforzare la presa di coscienza e l’empatia
No full textCome promuovere la transizione energetica a partire da quella sfera di innovazioni di senso tipicamente design-driven e capaci di agire sulla dimensione più profonda della cultura e dei comportamenti sostenibili? Questo
libro traccia percorsi e possibili risposte che mirano a generare impatti socio-culturali nelle nostre città e nelle nostre comunità ma anche negli spazi più intimi
delle nostre case.
L’energia sostenibile è qui obiettivo imprescindibile e insieme “materia” che plasma il vissuto del quotidiano di individui e collettività. Umanizzare l’energia vuol dunque dire valorizzare la portata percettiva e relazionale di questa sull’ambiente abitato, spostando lo sguardo progettuale al di là della mera cifra dell’innovazione tecnica e tecnologica. Umanizzare l’energia implica trovare
un nuovo lessico e una nuova sintassi di progetto per attivare dialoghi, per Avvicinare, Abilitare e Agire in modo nuovo verso la transizione energetica.
Il testo è esito del progetto DE-sign, promosso dal Dipartimento Unità Efficienza Energetica dell’ENEA, finanziato dal Ministero dell’Ambiente e della Sicurezza
Energetica nell’ambito del Programma Nazionale “Italia in Classe A” e sviluppato coralmente con il Dipartimento Design del Politecnico di Milano, il Dipartimento di Beni culturali e ambientali (Cattedra di Psicologia sociale) dell’Università degli Studi di Milano e il Dipartimento Culture del Progetto dell’Università IUAV di Venezia
DeCA research: theoretical framework
No full textTemporary Homes focuses on questions of home, identity, and modes of inhabitation in relationship to asylum seekers and political refugees in Milano, Italy. The design research takes into account people's complex and diverse cultural backgrounds and individual needs and aims to connect so-called "reception centres" in Italy to the wider urban an social context. Projects address issues of temporary residence, multi-cultural co-habitation, the need for privacy and interpersonal relationships, in order to develop more hospitable and welcoming design proposals
Beyond the borders. Connections of the Design System beyond its borders as an agent of social and cultural innovation
No full textThe systemic nature underlying Design at Politecnico di Milano does not merely configure its internal structure (from the initial establish- ment of the Consortium, followed by the Department and the Faculty, later renamed School), but from the outset, it has led those involved in its development to explore how to interact with the actors, places, and practices that have long been part of the broader and well-established Milanese Design System, eventually expanding the scope to national and international scales. In the history of design teaching and research at Politecnico di Milano, this outward openness has generated exper- iments and solutions that have historical significance and can be cat- egorized into three analytical areas. The first pertains to opening the campus to the city and taking projects to the places and events of De- sign, presenting reflections and results, and raising awareness of the Politecnico Design System; the second focuses on building relation- ships, weaving networks of collaboration and multidisciplinary work, disseminating knowledge; the third, rooted in design and prototyping, creates positive impacts in the local context. The paragraphs will explore these three dimensions, highlighting the qualities and uniqueness of some of the numerous episodes of research, teaching, and projects that have transcended not only physical barriers but also ideological boundaries of university spaces, extending beyond the confines of academic settings and deeply engaging with the city and contemporary society at multiple levels
The new generation. The design role in the new generation world
No full textUna città per i giovani, progettata da giovani designer.

Memories and documents: a digital archive for a history under construction
No full textThe chapter describes the ideation of a digital archive that documents and contextualizes the history of design at Politecnico di Milano. Conceived for the Department of Design’s 30th anniversary, the project extends beyond commemoration, offering a structured approach to preserving and narrating design heritage. The initiative integrates a Knowledge Base and an archival system, enabling the collection, description, and interrelation of documents, events, and key figures. Through a dynamic and relational database, the archive fosters a participatory understanding of design history, capturing not only institutional milestones but also informal narratives and personal contributions. The platform balances technological adaptability with a human-centric approach, ensuring the accessibility of materials for future researchers and designers. By merging historical documentation with interpretative storytelling, Design Philology transforms archival materials into a living discourse that continues to shape the design culture of Politecnico di Milano
