Creating Digital Musical Instruments With and for Children: Including Vocal Sketching as a Method for Engaging in Codesign
2020
International audience; A class of master of science students and a group of preschool children codesigned new digital musical instruments based on workshop interviews involving vocal sketching, a method for imitating and portraying sounds. The aim of the study was to explore how the students and children would approach vocal sketching as one of several design methods. The children described musical instruments to the students using vocal sketching and other modalities (verbal, drawing, gestures). The resulting instruments built by the students were showcased at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm. Although all the children tried vocal sketching during preparatory tasks, few …
Codesigning technology for a voluntary-sector organization
2019
© 2019 Khushnood Naqshbandi, Simon Hoermann, David Milne, Dorian Peters, Benjamin Davies, Sophie Potter, & Rafael A. Calvo. This paper presents an investigation into the experiences and perceptions of volunteers and community managers of an Australian voluntary-sector organization that supports young help-seeking people. The process focused specifically on the design of a chat tool, a rudimentary version of which was conceptualized and tested during a trial completed prior to this study. The process explored the motivations and experiences of these volunteers using a codesign approach, which led to the development of specific features of the chat tool that were tailored to the nature of the…

A hardware skin-segmentation IP for vision based smart ADAS through an FPGA prototyping
2017
International audience; In this paper we presents a platform based design approach for fast HW/SW embedded smart Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS) design and prototyping. Then, we share our experience in designing and prototyping a HW/SW vision based smart embedded system as an ADAS that helps to increase the safety of car's drivers. We present a physical prototype of the vision ADAS based on a Zynq FPGA. The system detects the fatigue state of the driver by monitoring the eyes closure and generates a real-time alert. A new HW/SW codesign skin segmentation step to locate the eyes/face is proposed. Our presented new approach migrates the skin segmentation step from processing system (S…

Fish Box in EPS : zero impact
2008
The object of the study is to demonstrate that an enterprise can be efficient also when it concerns the protection of the environment and that this is the key in order to obtain a sustainable development. In order to obtain this, a company is held to reduce the impact of the products during the entire life cycle of the product (from production to disposal) and to use adequate strategies that aim to reduce the impacts on the environment. The analysis will regard the field of packaging, considering a Sicilian company, that produces packaging made by Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and in particular boxes for fish.
more E less/nuovi stili di vita e di consumo
2009
Il libro nasce a valle del convegno “more E less/nuovi Stili di vita e di Consumo”, organizzato dal Dipartimento di Design della Facoltà di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. I contributi intendono promuovere e sensibilizzare il tema dei consumi e dei comportamenti responsabili e sostenibili, iniziando dalle azioni quotidiane e dagli stili di vita, come fattore strategico, per favorire una migliore qualità della vita. Gli interventi del convegno, presentano analisi e riflessioni sull’apporto che iI design può fornire per lo sviluppo di prodotti sostenibili, prendendo in considerazione: le risorse locali, la riduzione delle emissioni di CO2, l’uso delle fonti di energia rin…
Dai polimeri ai biopolimeri
2009
Una delle sfide più urgenti che ci troviamo ancora oggi ad affrontare è riferita alla gestione delle risorse e alla grande quantita di rifiuti che si accumula ovunque. inquinando e senza biodegradarsi. Iprincipali fautori del problema sono i materiali provenienti dalle risorse n o n rinnovabili. All'interno di questo scenario Il design può diventare un buon intermedlano per und progettazione e produzione che usa strategie eco-efficienti.
GREEN REVOLUTION AND BUILT HERITAGE: CONCEPTS AND PERSPECTIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGENERATION
2021
Urban and environmental regeneration is now a priority on a planetary level, and the climate neutrality objectives set by Brussels inevitably require a new green and sustainable design of cities and a total revision of human behaviour in relation to nature. Environmental regeneration requires an inclusive practice of architecture capable of metabolising the adaptations and contradictions of the built environment. With this in mind, and with no claim to being exhaustive, we will examine some of the "enabling" conditions and "indispensable" reasons for leading a process of environmental regeneration of the built heritage, analysing the critical points relating to public responsibilities, the …
