From Sustainable Design to Empathic Design
No full textToday the global issues of ecology and consumerism impose a call to the consciousness of design to
assume its responsibility with respect to the environmental sustainability of a contemporary lifestyle.
The challenge for sustainability is to limit and manage Western consumption while raising the living
standards of the developing world without increasing the use of its resources as well as its environmental
impact. This must be done by adopting strategies and technology that break the bond between economic
growth and environmental damage.
A major obstacle to achieving sustainability is the alleviation of poverty. It has been widely acknowledged
that poverty is one of the main sources of environmental degradation: «poverty is a major cause and effect of
global environmental problems. It is therefore futile to attempt to deal with environmental problems without a
broader perspective that encompasses the factors underlying world poverty and international inequality»
(Brundtland Commission, report Our Common Future).
In Italy, Riccardo Dalisi (author of the Manifesto of the Compasso di Latta) promoted the first edition of the
“Premio Compasso di latta”, aimed at carrying out new research in the field of sustainable design in the light
of human support, environmental compatibility and de-growth. While, the Associazione Designer Senza
Frontiere has been working on the themes of empathic and craft design as a generator of economic and
social value since its founding
Analysis and informative interviews to aid in the performance practice of the Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra by Eric Ewazen
No full textThe research found in this document will assist in a performer’s preparation of Dr. Eric Ewazen’s Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra. In order to give an informed performance of the work, it is this author’s belief that an understanding of the collaboration between the composer and the premiering artist, Ms. She-e Wu, as well as the impact Ms. Wu’s artistry had on Dr. Ewazen is paramount. Also, knowledge of Dr. Ewazen’s compositional style, reference to his other works for percussion, and an understanding of the structure of the work will assist future performers in demonstrating a well-versed and rewarding performance of the piece. This study presents insightful interviews from both the composer and the premiering artist. These interviews offer a wealth of understanding into the composition and performance of the work. The performance practice suggestions offer tools to interpret and prepare the piece. Though the Concerto may be a challenge for many marimbists, this author hopes that future performers find the rewards in this well-constructed and exciting work after reading this document
