Frank Langella, circa July 1979
No full textThe actor Frank Langella is seen seated on a couch, circa July 1979. This photograph was taken by Don Hamerman and originally appeared in Geoffrey Himes' article “Langella’s Bold Interpretation: Understanding Dracula’s Side of the Story” in the August 1979 edition of the Unicorn Times. Langella was profiled following the release of John Badham's film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel, "Dracula." Hamerman was then a staff photographer for Unicorn Times, a monthly performing arts periodical in Washington, D.C

El Diseño interpreta la innovación en materials
Full text linkIl contributo propone un progetto di sperimentazione multidisciplinare che interseca il design per la sostenibilità con la scienza dei materiali di origine rinnovabile. Nel contributo vengono illustrati i risultati delle attività di collaborazione e fertilizzazione incrociata confluiti nella Mostra “Hybrid Design| design bioispirato per lo sviluppo di nuovi prodotti e materiali”, a cura di Carla Langella svolta nell'ambito dell’iniziativa Design in Mostra 2009 (11-21 giugno 2009, Mostra D’Oltremare, Napoli), promossa da Hybrid design Lab, Dipartimento IDEAS, SUN, in collaborazione con l'istituto ICTP del CNR
Sustainability and Circularity: New Material Scenarios for Product Design
No full textThe concept of sustainability is a continually evolving threshold in step with technology and the ability it provides for understanding the environment. Various disciplines have always contributed by bringing essential concepts and tools to approach the growing complexity of the design project and its continuous dialogue with the environment.
The world we live in, now devastated in all its parts by depletion and pollution related to the choices of an unsustainable economy, needs adequate design solutions consistent with the concept of sustainability and circularity. Although it has been talked about for a long time, however, significant research and contributions are still needed on new material solutions that make new products possible and establish new design methods and practices.
It has been estimated that 80% of the environmental impact of a product or service is determined in the design phase, which is why product design has a great responsibility and must try to guide the transition towards a more sustainable and circular economy.
This Special Issue aims to bring together research on the development of materials and processes that can foster the development of innovative products that can promote a circular economy. It includes research on rethought and updated traditional materials; interactive, connected and smart materials; self-produced materials using alternative resources such as waste and scrap; upcycling processes, living biological materials or those that have lived, capable of self-generating and growing.
The contributions will highlight these different possible ways of closing the cycles through a virtuous integration between product design, material science and economy. The concepts of sustainability and circularity can be interpreted both in an environmental and a social sense.
We, therefore, welcome articles on recent or ongoing research in the field of materials for design that highlight valid alternatives to the current unsustainable and linear solutions

"Tra l'Alpe ed il mare". L'invenzione della patria
No full textThe men of Risorgimento appeal to the particular physical configuration of Italy and the natural boundaries (Alps and seas) that separate them from all the other lands, to attribute to their national unification programme the inevitable sense of the historical fulfillment of a destiny. In this perspective, the Apennines are not perceived as an element of division and fragmentation of the territory, but on the contrary as the seam that holds the peninsula, its spine. Langella also explains why only from a certain point forward the patriotic lyric inglobes Sicily in the national borders
