Sustainability challenges of exhibition systems
No full textThe core of this essay revolves around the concept of sustainable
culture. In particular, it looks at sustainable exhibit systems for
temporary cultural events in terms of both the process and specific
artefacts. Its intention is to change attitudes as regards the whole
process of organizing temporary events
Design Narrative
No full textThe narrative vocation of design represents a crucial key for the interpretation
of some contemporary cultural expressions such as making history,
representing through different media, archiving and exhibiting.
This essay explores narratives in three different “dimensions”: narrative as a
scenario (that envisions new contexts, behaviours, uses, spaces); narrative as a
tool (that creates new ways of triggering innovation), narrative as a process (that
codifies methodologies dealing with complex issues).
Narrative – be it implicit or explicit - is at the basis of all design interventions
as a story is an authorising device, a tool able to systematise each element and
direct it to a specific direction.
Creating the strategies for a story as a design infrastructure means generating
attention and stimulating memory, as narratives trigger curiosity and cognitive
participation in the audience.
Words and pictures are at the basis of imagination, as they design means for
envisioning what is not there yet: conversations, dialogues, verbal and visual texts.
Cognitive artefacts are media devices able to articulate a narrative repertoire and
foster the process of innovation
Design e beni culturali
No full textOggi i beni culturali vivono il prioritario problema della propria fruibilità da parte degli utenti: un percorso che può/deve essere progettato con il contributo del designer.
Secondo tale prospettiva, occorre determinare il processo che porta un bene a diventare bene culturale per distillare quegli elementi che possono arrivare a equiparare il bene realizzato dal designer a un vero e proprio bene culturale di fatto
Multidisciplinary Aspects of Design. Objects, Processes, Experiences and Narratives
No full textThis book is the result of a long research process. The work started in 2020 with an
exhibition held in Parma (Design! Oggetti processi esperienze, CSAC Università degli
Studi di Parma), and a book of the same title, edited by F. Zanella (with essays by
G. Bosoni, E. Di Stefano, G.L. Iannilli, G. Matteucci and R. Trocchianesi) and published
in 2023 (Electa Milano) centered on the role of archives as memory repositories
and agents for contemporary design. This first period of reflection was followed by an
international conference: Design! O.P.E.N. (https://www.designopen.it) held in Parma
on May 5–6, 2022. The present volume contains most of the papers presented at the
conference
Design Challenges in Creative Systems. Theories, Methods, and Practices for Sustainability and Inclusion.
Full text linkThis volume focuses on the dynamic systems of creativity and culture within the diverse fields of design, merging theoretical reflections, case studies, methodologies, technologies, tools, and original practices. The twelve essays adopt different viewpoints to consider the critical role of design in addressing sustainability and social inclusion in creative and cultural industries, positioning them as vital components of a broader design process that fosters local growth, revitalizes communities, and co-creates cultural, economic, and social values.
In today's evolving global society, crises in productive cycles, amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, have accelerated the need for change and influenced behaviors. Digital technologies have transformed the creative arts and media landscape, bridging the gap between designers and consumers and expanding possibilities in both real and virtual domains. Audience engagement is central to this reflection, aiming to increase interest in cultural heritage, promote innovative cultural experiences, and reach underrepresented groups, ensuring accessibility to a diverse audience.
As a new era emerges with evolving forms of society, culture, economy, and politics, the book revisits concepts like 'sustainable culture,' 'inclusive sociality,' and 'participation' in cultural heritage as a common good. Proposing a long-term, holistic approach to the challenges of the Anthropocene Age, it highlights the importance of creative and cultural industries in local development and community engagement. It envisions new models of sociality and community concepts, seeing design, creativity, and culture as catalysts for continuous change and interaction.
By adopting multidisciplinary approaches and innovative practices, the volume seeks to inspire new models for cultural engagement and community development, contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable future. It redefines issues like accessibility, multiculturalism, and inclusion, reshaping the social and political positioning of the current cultural system
