Progettare biblioteche nel mondo di Google
2015
"The world has been Googled. We don't search for information, we Google it" Così Ken Auletta, columnist del New York Times, definisce l’accesso all’informazione contemporaneo. Però nel "mondo di Google" paradossalmente la costruzione di nuove biblioteche si è incrementata in modo esponenziale. Ma anche sul piano qualitativo la biblioteca ha subito una radicale trasformazione: da mero deposito a luogo di lettura e di studio oggi la biblioteca è imperativamente luogo di socializzazione e quindi anche anche “luogo di transito” ed elemento urbano. Il testo, scritto da un architetto, analizza il fenomeno nello specifico della progettazione architettonica analizzando l’evoluzione che questa tipol…
LIBER, LIBRI
2016
Parlare di oggetto libro come cita il titolo della mostra che interpreta il tema della Triennale "Design after Design", esprime la ferma volontà di individuare nei tanti volumi esposti, espressione di libri prodotti industrialmente e libri realizzati da artisti, piuttosto che elementi di differenza, e tanti ce ne sarebbero, un minimo comun denominatore, nel loro essere prima di ogni cosa oggetti tridimensionali che abitano gli spazi, che si realizzano con l'uso dei diversi materiali, che si definiscono attraverso le tante parti che li compongono, che si presentano sempre come scatole chiuse, garanti del sacro contenuto.
Life-based design for technical solutions in social and voluntary work
2012
The Social and Voluntary work sector operates outside the organised boundaries and systems of normal business, financial and government organisational institutions. My target during this research has been to develop an optimum solution for decision support towards committing and accepting resources in the Social Work and Voluntary sector. In initial part of this monograph, I have traced the history of Design Thinking from the time it was ‘art and craft’ until modern times where multiple approaches are tried, tested and implemented for solution development. For the actual application development, I have chosen the Life-based Design conceptual framework. Three design iterations were made in t…
Palladium-Catalyzed Direct Arylation of Heteroaromatics with Activated Aryl Chlorides Using a Sterically Relieved Ferrocenyl-Diphosphane
2012
International audience; The palladium-catalyzed direct arylations at C3 or C4 positions of heteroaromatics are known to be more challenging than at C2 or C5 positions. Aryl chlorides are also challenging substrates for direct arylation of heteroaromatics. We observed that in the presence of a palladium-catalyst combining only 0.5 mol % of Pd(OAc)2 with the sterically relieved new ferrocenyl diphosphane Sylphos, the direct arylation at C3 or C4 of oxazoles, a benzofuran, an indole, and a pyrazole was found to proceed in moderate to high yields using a variety of electron deficient aryl chlorides. Turnover numbers up to 176 have been obtained with this catalyst. Assessment of the electron-don…
Gestures within Human-Technology Choreographies for Interaction Design
2013
In the traditional use-oriented approach, only a fraction of gestures are taken as relevant to interaction. In this paper we argue that gestures should not be handled only as isolated objects of application use, but they should rather be understood as dynamic moments of embodied presence belonging to an experiential chain of different movements which has its own significance as a whole. In the current study, we call the embodied, experiential continuum of human action choreography. We assume that choreography is a fruitful theoretical concept in understanding interaction design because by choreography we can understand gestures as building up a chain of a bigger whole. The dynamic formulati…
3D Printing : Challenging Existing Business Models
2016
Technologies labelled as “disruptive” challenge conventional business procedures. The development of 3D printing technology and additive manufacturing (AM) is expected to transform product design and manufacturing. 3D printing technology makes it possible to produce complex and unique physical products from digitally designed CAD models. It is estimated that the effects of 3D printing on business will be diverse and far‐reaching. Hence, it is vital for business owners to observe how 3D printing may impact on business models and business networks, considering also the effects on stakeholders’ value propositions and on value creation. This paper reports on the potential impact of 3D printing …

Exploring the immersive journalism landscape
2021
Current drivers of 360-degree journalism have been mostly curious about the new medium, its possibilities, and are exploring business opportunities. The early adoption of such technology is often a matter of brand-building – that is, news organizations experimenting with virtual reality (VR) want to demonstrate that their digital strategies are forward-thinking (Watson 2017). After interviewing representatives from leading US newspapers, Bosworth and Sarah (2019, 226) also conclude, “among major media companies that failing to experiment in immersive and experimental stories will mean losing a race”. peerReviewed
PALERMO 2019: GREEN LINE
2017
L'organizzazione di un Laboratorio internazionale di Progettazione Architettonica ha rivelato l'importanza di accostare figure provenienti dal mondo accademico e istituzionale ancor prima che Palermo presentasse la sua proposta di candidatura a Capitale Europea della Cultura 2019. Questa esperienza, che si è rivelata utile per definire alcuni spazi incerti della città, è risultata assai stimolante per la comunità scientifica e per le istituzioni coinvolte. La consapevolezza del ruolo di servizio e di indirizzo che la comunità scientifica deve assumersi nei confronti del proprio territorio, i rimando ai temi che riguardano l'architettura e il territorio della città mediterranea, l'attenzione…
Recent Progress in the WCLL Breeding Blanket Design for the DEMO Fusion Reactor
2018
The water-cooled lithium-lead (PbLi) breeding blanket is one of the candidate systems considered for the implementation in the European Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO) nuclear fusion reactor. This concept employs PbLi liquid metal as tritium breeder and neutron multiplier, water pressurized at 15.5 MPa as the coolant, and EUROFER as the structural material. The current design is based on the single module segment approach and follows the requirements of the DEMO-2015 baseline design. The module is constituted by a basic toroidal-radial cell that is recursively repeated along the poloidal direction where the liquid metal flows along a radial-poloidal path. The heat generated by the fusion r…
