    With reference to the conference topics, this paper analyzes the emotive, perceptive and social effects of technology in the space dimension, referring both to design practices and user experiences. The aim is to suggest new design scenarios able to contextualize the exhibition design in the contemporary scenario. For this purpose, examples of “interactive architecture”1 are analyzed in order to extrapolate exhibition practices and strategies that include the communicative and educational component in experiences where users use their bodies in space. This implies: acknowledging the emotional, communicative and adaptive possibilities of interactive environments; assuming that the design of the exhibition space is oriented to the integration of advanced technologies – tangible and intangible – so that it is necessary to understand the importance of data and their multiple nature, according to a heterogeneous users that interact with a performative environment, which can make their experience unique. This vital ability requires a level of phenomenological and design complexity that obliges designers to reflect on the meaning of our social nature and the mutable relationship with the world mediated by technolog

    This paper intends to propose the scenario of the use of additive technologies of direct printing on fabrics as a new frontier of design and production that allows the development of changeable, flexible and composite artifacts increasingly related to the multi-functionality of nature and the human body and increasingly adaptable to the complexity of the needs of contemporary living

    Tutore ortopedico stampabile in 3D printing elaborato con approccio computazionale in funzione delle caratteristiche anatomiche (scansione 3D dell'arto) e del tipo di patologia del paziente (dati provenienti dalla TAC). Rispetto alle ingessature tradizionali è traspirante leggero e impermeabile

    EMPS : Exhibit museale per la pre-diagnostica posturale e la promozione della salute

    Il presente contributo esplora la possibilità di ibridare esperienze di apprendimento e diagnosi al fine di mettere in luce esigenze insolute nell’ambito della salute. In tal senso, si suggerisce uno scenario di ricerca il cui processo è innestato in contesti informali con l’obiettivo di sperimentare nuovi approcci per la pre-diagnosi della postura adolescenziale. Pertanto, considerando l’impegno per la promozione della salute, il museo è intercettato come luogo e istituzione chiave per soddisfare problemi poco indagati come l’insorgere di posture scorrette nell’età della pubertà. In particolar modo, si ritiene risolutivo considerare in modo strategico il design dello spazio espositivo affinché diventi simultaneamente strumento di divulgazione e di indagine grazie all’integrazione di sistemi di diagnosi digitalizzati. Si configura in questo modo, in un’ottica patient-centred, un sistema collaborativo per l’avanzamento della ricerca scientifica, il benessere e la formazione degli individui che vede come protagonisti l’utente adolescente, l’ente museale e la struttura ospedaliera. Di conseguenza, considerando la transdisciplinarietà di tali questioni, si intende esortare la comunità scientifica a individuare traiettorie di ricerca in cui il design possa essere di supporto all’ambito della medicina e della ricerca medica

    Intersection between design and science in the Mediterranean food landscape

    Over the last few decades, design has become part of the realm of food in an increasingly incisive way, with the designing of both functional and communicative products at the service of nutrition as well as of food itself. Design for food, through the interpretative filter of contemporary sciences and interdisciplinary experiments, takes the opportunity to consider the future scenarios of nutrition along with the possibility of finding adequate solutions to the increasingly stringent needs for well-being, health, and sustainability. In this perspective, the scientific literature underlines the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, whose antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, soothing properties, as well as the presence of vitamins, mineral salts, and fibers, constitute a precious heritage to be enhanced and translated into contemporary lifestyles, as they favor the prevention and reduction of various pathologies. This important baggage of scientific knowledge opens up new and unexplored fields of design experimentation for the discipline of design that is able to guide, convey and modulate the values and potential benefits of Mediterranean food culture through the design of artefacts that can be imbedded into everyday life, becoming an instrument for the treatment of psycho-physical well-being
