    AUTOFFICINA FUTURO. AN INTERACTIVE OVERVIEW OF MOBILITY IN THE FUTURE

    No full text
    In occasione della mostra Motion. Autos, Art, Architecture la Norman Foster Foundation e il Guggenheim Museum di Bilbao hanno invitato sedici scuole di design e di architettura di quattro continenti a presentare la loro visione sul futuro della mobilità. La Scuola del Design del Politecnico di Milano accetta la sfida e propone, in collaborazione con CamerAnebbia, Autofficina Futuro: un’installazione multimediale che induce il visitatore a guardare il mondo come potrebbe essere. Il volume, ricco di scatti fotografici di Niccolò Biddau e delle illustrazioni preparate per l’occasione da Francesca Gastone, presenta numerosi contributi che approfondiscono la genesi e gli aspetti salienti del progetto. Quest’ultimo richiama l’idea dell’autofficina, il luogo del made in Italy, dello scambio conoscitivo e innovativo, e lo trasforma, in una sequenza interattiva di storie plurali sul futuro della mobilità. Grazie al movimento del visitatore, emergono 12 progetti degli studenti della Scuola del Design del Politecnico di Milano. Dopo l’introduzione di Norman Foster e del curatore del Guggenheim Museum, Luisa Collina sottolinea l’importanza della sfida progettuale e il ruolo della Scuola del Design in questa occasione. Ilaria Bollati e Umberto Tolino raccontano l’idea, l’esperienza offerta al visitatore e propongono un’intervista inedita a CamerAnebbia; Giulio Ceppi mette in luce i protagonisti di ieri e i fruitori dell’auto del domani; Fausto Brevi e Flora Gaetani indagano l’evoluzione della mobilità domandandosi quale sia il ruolo delle scuole nel processo di immaginazione di futuri possibili. Il volume, prima di chiudersi con un carosello di scatti fotografici, propone un approfondimento sui progetti selezionati, presentandoli attraverso schede cross-mediali. I QRcode, presenti all’interno di queste ultime, consentono agli studenti del Politecnico di Milano di prendere parola e raccontare a voce gli aspetti salienti delle proprie scommesse progettuali.On the occasion of the exhibition Motion. Autos, Art, Architecture the Norman Foster Foundation and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao invited sixteen schools of design and architecture from four continents to present their vision of the future of mobility. The School of Design of the Politecnico di Milano accepted the challenge (under the scientific supervision of Luisa Collina with Ilaria Bollati) and proposed, in collaboration with CamerAnebbia, Autofficina Futuro: a multimedia installation that induces the visitor to look at the world as it could be. The volume, full of photographic shots by Niccolò Biddau and illustrations prepared for the occasion by Francesca Gastone, presents numerous contributions that delve into the genesis and salient aspects of the project. The latter recalls the idea of the garage, the place of made in Italy, of cognitive and innovative exchange, and transforms it, in an interactive sequence of plural stories about the future of mobility. Thanks to the movement of the visitor, 12 projects by students of the School of Design of the Politecnico di Milano emerge. After an introduction by Norman Foster and the curator of the Guggenheim Museum, Luisa Collina emphasizes the importance of the design challenge and the role of the School of Design on this occasion. Ilaria Bollati and Umberto Tolino talk about the idea, the experience offered to the visitor and offer an unpublished interview with CamerAnebbia; Giulio Ceppi highlights yesterday's protagonists and tomorrow's car users; Fausto Brevi and Flora Gaetani investigate the evolution of mobility, wondering what the role of schools is in the process of imagining possible futures. The volume, before closing with a carousel of photographic shots, offers an in-depth analysis of the selected projects, presenting them through cross-media cards. The QRcodes, present within the latter, allow students of the Politecnico di Milano to speak and verbally describe the salient aspects of their project challenges

    This paper gives an account of an innovative teaching experience from the Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design, Metadesign Studio at the Politecnico di Milano, School of Design.It is a traditional studio that for years had a static structure, but during recent years, following the preparation of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the topic of Metadesign, it was decided to review the course setting and insert different elements of innovative teaching

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
