Six dialogues on contemporary design
No full textThis essay focuses on three main aims related to the contents of the book. Authors describe the context in which the book was conceived, explain curatorial choices, provide the reader with comments on the collected essays.
They shortly outline the PhD programme in Design at Politecnico di Milano, its aims and goals. Then they focus on the concept of dialogue which structures the architecture of the book. A dialogue is not just a conversation. It is not about establishing the truth: a temporary, fragile, and often deceptive one. A dialogue is not a matter of winning an argument but of looking at different opinions and making them interact and cross-fertilise. Dialogues have an extraordinary capacity to draw energy from people's differences and channel it towards something new.
With these premises six dialogues have been selected between scholars of the Politecnico di Milano and international scholars. Each dialogue focusing on a specific topic recently addressed on the PhD programme in Design: the role of users, social innovation, fashion design, colour design, interaction design and urban design. Many perspectives, then, are brought together to depict the challenges facing design, and especially design research, over the coming years
PIPER-ONE: a Loop to study Small Break LOCAs in Boiling Water Reactors" (in Italian)
No full textAn invitational memory was prepared to honour Prof. Lucio Lazzarino. Prof. Lazzarino was for many years Dean of Faculty of Engineering at University of Pisa, Institute Director and founder of the nuclear School at University of Pisa in the 60’s with the support of Prof. B. Guerrini. Prof. Lazzarino was teacher of all authors of the present publication. The volume was ready at the time of retirement of Prof Lazzarino (he was born in 1913).
The memory deals with the description of the design procedure and of the key features of the PIPER-ONE loop in construction at Scalbatraio Laboratory at the time of writing

`Like a N' constructions and genericity
Janek Guerrini
In this work, I examine English V + 'like' constructions. I analyze 'is like xe' as 'shares relevant properties with xe', which coheres with main psychological accounts of similarity (Tversky, 1977). I also examine the readings of indefinites embedded by such constructions ('look like a lawyer'). I argue that in the most salient reading of such constructions the indefinite receives a generic interpretation. This explains why they are non-increasing: from the fact that John looks like a British judge it doesn't follow that he looks like a judge. This also predicts, non-trivially and correctly, quasi-conjunctive narrow readings of disjunction: under the most salient reading of 'John looks like a lawyer or judge', John looks like a lawyer and like a judge. This is explained by the fact that the disjunction can go into the restrictor of a generic quantifier.</p
