Politecnico: missione innovazione
No full textL'articolo illustra gli esiti di sperimentazioni tessili per artefatti ibridi tra moda e design, verso una ridefinizione della koinè dell'arredo contemporaneo. Sono inoltre presentati alcuni lavori elaborati all'interno del corso di studi in design attivato presso il Polo Regionale di Como del Politecnico di Milano, mostrando come il distretto comasco, incrocio e sovrapposizione tra realtà produttive tessili e del legno-arredo, sia fecondo di sperimentazioni inedite tra questi ambiti merceologici filtrati attraverso la cultura del progetto dei prodotti industriali

Architetti, designers e materiali tessili. Forse è amore.
No full textL'articolo mostra le potenzialità e le fertilizzazioni creative tra l'ambiente delle professioni del progetto, segnatamente architetti e designer, e l'ambito del tessile tecnico, ripercorrendo storicamente a grandi linee la natura del rapporto, attualizzandolo anche alla luce della nascita dei percorsi di laurea in disegno industriale e delle possibili ricadute sui nuovi sbocchi professionali

Design for Furnishing to Enhance the Routes in the Spina Verde Park in Como
No full textSpina Verde Park extends across the hills to the north-west of Como, brushing alongside the Swiss Canton of Ticino. Starting from the valley that is home to the walled city of Como, it rises up to Monte Caprino, its southern spur provided by the fortified walls of the medieval Baradello Castle, while the archaeological remains of the pre-Roman settlement are nestled in the western slopes. In addition to the historical and archaeological wonders, a vast wooded natural area rich in flora and fauna typical of the Alpine foothills can be found just near the city. Despite having long been the focus of great interest and planning by the administrations, the park is currently suffering difficulties concerning its use and communication. The deterioration that has affected its signage, the equipment in the parking areas and the furniture elements, and the general problem with the management and recognisability of the park's visual identity poses a challenge for the designers. This text presents some of the experiences that emerged from the project carried out within the context of researches and educational courses in Furniture Design at the Politecnico di Milano. The different product types (signage, rest areas, items of furniture such as benches, tables, fountains, panoramic deck, walkways), were developed within the context of the development and enhancement of the natural, archaeological, scenic and panoramic trails, aiming for a wider, more attractive experiential and sensory enjoyment of the park in order to attract a larger number of visitors
Strategic Design for the Enhancement of Cultural Itineraries and Related Territories. “Via Regina”: A European Cultural Itinerary
No full textThe research aims at strengthening the common identity of territories in Northern Lombardy (Italy) and Southern Ticino (Switzerland) by safe-guarding and enhancing their common cultural heritage, identified in the his-torical net of pedestrian routes that cross and connect the regions involved. Therefore, owing to the synergy among cultural itinerary experts, administra-tions, landscape designers, geomatics engineers, architects and designers, the project allows to strengthen the common identity of these “pathways,” safe-guarding and enhancing their cultural heritage through integrated initiatives aimed at providing information and communication to the public, thus fostering a greater knowledge and use of said territories. The ancient routes were studied on the basis of various values expressed by anthropic structures (transit and migration routes of populations, art and faith devotional paths, connections between villages in the valley and high altitude pastures, forestry and rural micro-economies, local food and wine production) and through the extensive use of ICTs, survey systems and a computerized management of the territorial and environmental information collected. Moreover, a systematic and strategic design was carried out with the aim to enhance the territorial and environmental contexts
