Investigating the Reliability of Stationary Design Rainfall in a Mediterranean Region under a Changing Climate
2023
Extreme rainfall events have been more frequent in recent decades, potentially as a climate change effect. This has been leading to a higher risk of the failure of existing hydraulic infrastructures, and to a higher awareness regarding the unreliability of design rainfall calculated with reference to historical data recorded in the last century. With this in mind, the present study questions the stationary assumption of the rainfall Depth–Duration–Frequency curves commonly used in Sicily, the biggest island of the Mediterranean Sea. Quantiles derived from the most up-to-date regional method, regarding Sicily, based on observations in the period 1928–2010, have been compared with those extra…

Fashion Technology : What Are the Limits of Emerging Technological Design Thinking?
2021
Designing intelligent technologies is a multidisciplinary process. From this perspective, fashion has continued to be an under explored dimension of technology design. While there persistently are connections between the term fashion and the clothing design industry, an historical and sociological approach to fashion reveals a much deeper and permeating understanding of the notion and its implications across the technological world. During recent popular developments, the interrelationship between fashion as a concept and technology as components and proponents of fashion – technology as fashion promoter (think of Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook and even LinkedIn for example), and technology as…
Diffusion of digital culture: analysis of the Internet forum of a MOOC
2017
When MOOCs are increasing all over the world as a mean for improving the diffusion of culture and science, it is interesting to observe how those MOOCS build communities of knowledge, and which is the impact of those communities on the acquisition of knowledge. In this article, we present the principles of design of the MOOC Digital & Culture Writing that aims to spread digital culture. Then, we analyse the messages posted on forums by the related community, and the cognitive process to which they refer. Posts analysis reveals reflexivity processes when participants are writing on forums. It appears that reflexivity cognitive processes are at the heart of both social interaction and digital…
Designing and investigating pedagogical scripts to facilitate computer-supported collaborative learning
2008
Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) appears to provide a promising social approach to foster learning. On the other hand, recent studies have indicated that when learners are left on their own, it is often difficult for teams to engage in productive interactions. Therefore, the use of collaboration scripts as instructional support has been presented as a possibility to trigger productive collaborative activities. This study provides knowledge of collaboration scripts as a pedagogical method to facilitate group processes in virtual environments in authentic educational contexts. The findings indicate that scripts as external support can help students proceed in solving learning …
Socio-emotional Experience in Human Technology Interaction Design – A Fashion Framework Proposal
2021
Technology designers and developers can be understood as social experience (SE) mediators. In user experience (UX), notions of SE have served to identify and define the factors contributing to human-technology interaction (HTI). Three dominant perspectives have been promoted in UX discourse: 1) SE of brand, brand value and consumer culture; 2) technology design as mediator of human-to-human interactions; and 3) meaning generation through action and interaction between actors. Symbolic interactionalism understands meaning as occurring through dialogue, in the construction of the social self, promoting self-reflection as a social construction. This theorisation of social experience is valuabl…
Il laboratorio di comunicazione visiva e il progetto Gjuhë. Il design per la valorizzazione del territorio di Piana degli Albanesi
2010
L’esperienza progettuale maturata nel corso del Laboratorio di comunicazione visiva della Laurea magistrale in design per l’area del Mediterraneo e del workshop svoltosi nel paese di Piana degli albanesi, ha avuto come tema la valorizzazione del territorio e si è confrontato con uno degli aspetti che connota fortemente il paese di origine arbëreshë ovvero l’uso della lingua albanese. Questa rappresenta una traccia visibile della stirpe che ha fondato il paese dopo la fuga dall’albania, e oggi grande patrimonio della cultura immateriale da conservare, valorizzare, fruire. La lingua è usata da tutti nella forma orale, ed è il clero a detenerne la completa conoscenza e a fare da tramite con la…
Plurale femmminile
2013
Il bisogno di conoscere, di analizzare, di mettere ordine all’interno di un panorama composito, spesso sommerso, è quello che sta alla base dell’ideazione di un premio biennale come AWDA, che si appresta a divenire internazionale nella sua prossima edizione. Un premio rivolto alle donne che si occupano, a vari livelli, di design della comunicazione visiva, coinvolgendo non solo le singole progettiste e i loro progetti, a cui abbiamo ovviamente guardato con particolare attenzione, ma l’intera filiera produttiva a cui ognuna di esse appartiene, andando a definire uno scenario costellato da tante competenze diverse, legate al mondo del progetto – fotografo, illustratore, type designer, copywri…
Aiap Design Per 2011. Settimana internazionale della grafica. Trame e tessuti
2011
Aiap Design Per giunge alla sua terza edizione e in questa occasione, visti gli interessanti temi che si susseguono in tutte le edizioni, intendiamo inaugurare una collana che possa raccogliere una serie di spunti di riflessione tali da accompagnare la chermesse. Un documento quindi lontano dal didascalico racconto, che lasciamo invece alle pagine web dedicate, e che vuole invece provare a lanciare delle sporie, dei primi link, da approfondire poi in tutti gli incontri programmati durante la Design Week. Una sorta di pamphlet pindarico e multidisciplinare in grado di raccogliere riflessioni anche lontane o discordanti ma che nel tema proposto trovano raccordo nel tentativo di allargare i co…
The line model of form and emotion : perspectives on western design
2018
This paper introduces a new model of form, emotion, and semantics through a process of form abstraction utilizing lines. Understanding the emotional and semantic value of form is a complex task, and many theories have been developed. Analyzing the visual arts through line relationships and interactions is a conceptually novel approach and offers new avenues for advancing studies in form theory, theories of emotion and perception, and design generally. By examining literature in visual perception, form theory, and emotion, and by historically analyzing changes in form through the aesthetic arts and then reducing these aesthetic elements into basic linear foundations, we developed the line mo…
