Editorial: Positive Technology: Designing E-experiences for Positive Change
2019
While there is little doubt that our lives are becoming increasingly digital, whether this change is for the better or for the worse is far from being settled. Rather, over the past years concerns about the personal and social impacts of technologies have been growing, fueled by dystopian Orwellian scenarios that almost on daily basis are generously dispensed by major Western media outlets. According to a recent poll involving some 1,150 experts, 47% of respondents predict that individuals’ well-being will bemore helped than harmed by digital life in the next decade, while 32% say people’s well-being will bemore harmed than helped. Only 21% of those surveyed indicated that the impact of tec…
Project into the Future. Introductory essay on the topic
2021
Investigating the Future is an established practice for the academy and the world of crafts and industry. From the Chicago Columbian Exhibition of 1893 to the two Worlds Fairs of New York City (1939 and 1965) and so on, the future has been foreseen as filled with technology and amazing architecture but not every vision of the future has described promising scenarios. The four visions of the future proposed by Norman Henchey (1978) conceptualized in classes – ‘possible’ (any future), ‘plausible’ (future that makes sense), ‘probable’ (highly likely to happen), ‘preferable’ (the best that could happen) – have been brilliantly described in the ‘Futures Cone’ reinterpreted by Joseph Voros (2003)…
Safety diagnostic method in urban circular intersections
2004
The available knowledge of traffic safety at roundabouts is not a complete reference for geometric design; where there are organizational schemes for junctions characterized by a geometric design, quite different driving behaviours are required from those that are observable at roundabouts. This is very frequent in urban areas, where the existing constraints, particularly physical ones, often render it necessary to make “compromise choices” relating to one or more geometric features of the roundabout (central island shape, circulatory roadway width, symmetry and number of the arms, entry width, etc). The objective of this study is to explain the accident phenomenology of this kind of road s…

Alla ricerca dell'autosostenibilità. Visioni e scenari per territorio e comunità
2021
Riflettere e ritornare a ripensare le relazioni tra le varie arti e i vari campi del sapere scientifico è oggi quanto mai necessario vista la tendenza esplicita alla liquefazione, allo scollamento e alla dispersione tra e dei processi intellettuali (sempre più omologati sulla necessità di aver successo mediatico nel messaggio immediato e mediante slogan e packaging più che risolvere, concretamente, i fatti urbani e territoriali) e alla costante separazione con le tecniche, i metodi e le attività burocratiche (anche esse sempre più meccaniche e industriali che fanno spesso il paio con processi di economie di scala). Entrambi gli aspetti divengono sempre più seriali, globalizzati e standardiz…
Una más de la familia. Au pairs atrapadas entre el capital humano y la economía moral
2018
In contemporary societies we are witnessing an expansion of the messages of human capital. These messages have as their central dimension idea of the self-entrepreneur, which implies a deepening in the logic of activation, while blurring the wage relations. In this scenario, young people with university degrees are becoming a favourite target in the offensive of human capital. The penetration of these human capital messages can be seen in the discourses of young university students who have been forced to leave the country during the crisis. In the present text we approach the discourses of young women who came out as au pairs. The characteristics of this figure place it in a space halfway …
