Technology Comprehension — Combining computing, design, and societal reflection as a national subject
2019
This article considers the implementation of a new learning subject ”Technology Comprehension” into lower secondary schools in Denmark, as part of an initiative by the Danish Ministry of Education. The subject consists of learning objectives related to computing, design, and societal reflection and was first introduced as an elective course in 13 schools to investigate how it could be integrated into the Danish education system. We present four key findings based on school visits, interviews, an electronical survey, two questionnaires, and workshops including theme discussions: (1) teachers did not perceive Technology Comprehension as a distinct subject, but rather as a set of skills that c…
Architetture del divenire. Innovazioni contemporanee/Emerging Architecture. Contemporary Innovations (presentazione di Giuseppe Pellitteri) - Quadern…
2014
La posizione assunta dall'architettura all'inizio del ventunesimo secolo è ambigua e così la forma degli edifici che ambiscono a convogliare significati. Il processo di radicale trasformazione dell’architettura, avvenuto sin dal primo Novecento, quale conseguenza della graduale sostituzione delle tecniche edilizie tradizionali con le tecniche “moderne”, ha subito un notevole slancio nell'ultimo ventennio, per effetto del crescente mutamento tecnologico. I materiali, le tecniche costruttive e l’innovazione tecnologica hanno condizionato sensibilmente ed irreversibilmente il pensiero architettonico, producendo in questi ultimi anni nuove espressività linguistiche del tutto “insolite” rispetto…
Session III - PARAMETRIC MODELLING AND VIDEO MAPPING_INTRODUCTION
2022
Virtual representation, free-form surface modelling techniques and numerical control manufacturing, with their intrinsic dynamic and interactive capabilities, have profoundly expanded and enriched the repertoire of geometric shapes, generating innovative design skills and creative languages. There is no doubt about the opportunities for exploration, contamination, relationships and overlapping of ideas, measurements and information, which the continuous evolution of expeditious, parametric and automatic procedures brings to the use of the many products of the information age. Adopting computation as a form of design is profoundly different from simply using tools geared toward increasing th…
3D RECONSTRUCTION-REVERSE ENGINEERING- DIGITAL FABRICATION OF THE EGYPTIAN PALERMO STONE USING BY SMARTPHONE AND LIGHT STRUCTURED SCANNER
2018
Abstract. This paper presents a pipeline that has been developed to acquire a shape with particular features both under the geometric and radiometric aspects. In fact, the challenge was to build a 3D model of the black Stone of Palermo, where the oldest Egyptian history was printed with the use of hieroglyphs. The dark colour of the material and the superficiality of the hieroglyphs' groove have made the acquisition process very complex to the point of having to experiment with a pipeline that allows the structured light scanner not to lose the homologous points in the 3D alignment phase. For the texture reconstruction we used a last generation smartphone.
TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE INNOVATION IN THE METHOD
2018
The book presents reflections on the centrality of Design in the discipline of Technology of Architecture and on the need to adapt the design method to the innovation of thought implemented by the research world. The theme of the Innovation in the Method of Technological Design is an interesting challenge that in this volume has been addressed considering the complexity of the levels of thematic depth, opening up to critical reflections, proposals for tools and illustration of case studies that show the breadth, relevance and multidimensionality of this issue. The era of digital and information technology have significantly influenced the way of doing and thinking in architecture and this e…
