Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Contemporary large scale interventions, leading ongoing transformation processes of world cities, are often related to mobility systems. Developed around the reconversion or the implementation of infrastructural nodes, they deeply impact surrounding areas within a more general rethinking of urban conditions. However, the relation between urbanity and infrastructure appears at least ambiguous. On the one hand mobility flows represent key components and engines for transformations, on the other hand their physical presence progressively disappears from the urban scene itself, subtly declaring a figurative irreconcilability between the two. Starting from this observation the book, as a contribution for the architectural and urban discourse, reflects on the status of a conflicting relation, with a specific focus on the 20th century, retracing paradigmatic design positions to outline in which ways these hidden infrastructures are actually reshaping the contemporary city scape and which are the opportunities in the architectural research. 100 b/w images The book retraces paradigmatic design positions to outline in which ways hidden infrastructures are actually reshaping the contemporary city scape and which are the opportunities in the architectural research.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What will we be made of and what will the world be made of? Science and technology are extending into design fields, modifying materials and everything that surrounds us, even our bodies, redefining on a perceptive level the boundary between things and us. To identify the actual evolution of the relationship between sciences, knowledge and design, in 2014 the Madec (Material Design Culture Research Centre) of Politecnico di Milano, initiated a wide debate with a series of contributions on innovation trajectories by well-known scholars across many disciplines, researchers, professionals and companies. This public debate, entitled 'Ideas and the Matter' has opened up new initiatives for design today, new ideas, and the definition of design approaches, contributing to the development of a new methodology of creativity-driven material innovation that, in a world full of opportunities but also problems to be solved, helps design to play a role in 'giving new meanings', through designing materials and objects with a critical approach. This is a mission from which designers cannot abdicate, following the success of "Design Thinking", which was an opening up to social innovation challenges and achieving creative solutions beyond the reach of conventional structure and method. At the same time, "Open Innovation" is a go-to process stimulating ways of creating positive change in production. This book is the compendium of Madec's one-year research. The contributors to the book come from many and diverse disciplines (medicine, biotechnology, engineering, art, anthropology, architecture and design), by which design thoughts are fed. AUTHORS: Giulio Ceppi is an architect, designer and PhD. He is author of a number of books about innovation practice: Children, Space, Relationship (1997), Oggetti Esistibili (2005), Design Epigenetic (2009), Design Storytelling (2011) and Awareness Design (2012). Marinella Ferrara, is an architect, PhD, Associate Professor of Industrial Design at Politecnico di Milano, and the co-ordinator of MADEC (www. madec.polimi.it). 500 b/w images A study on the evolution of the relationship between sciences, knowledge and design.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Land Stocks are landscapes whose potential is deemed lost or worthless. This book seeks to reclaim the latent usefulness of these areas. It envisions the residual spaces, wastelands, and destitute buildings that exist within the complex urban tapestry as a resource rather than a detriment. Land Stocks are not created. They are a consequence of the post-crisis city. They express the weakness of the metropolitan growth model and the need to investigate other possible transformation strategies, such as recycling existing urban fabric in order to reduce waste, maximise productivity, and return land capital to the urban life-cycle. With a material focus, Landstocks highlights issues that will influence contemporary and future city design. 200 colour images Supported by demonstratory photographs, this book explores the new potential of neglected urban environments.

From their very origin, gardens have always beared an ideal tension between knowledge and pleasure, resulting in the archetypes of the botanical garden and the garden of pleasure. Botanical Garden was born, specifically, as an actual eristic instrument to order, classify and preserve living beings by means of spatial separation. Even if humanity had underwent a journey of dematerialization of knowledge, still space is the most powerful instrument for the comprehension of reality.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. At the beginning of the 21st century digital technology disrupted city life. The use of ICTs (information and communication technologies) has radically changed the way we inhabit and operate in the urban space. Over the last few decades an increasingly collaborative and interdisciplinary work developed by architects, artists, urban and media designers has defined a particular landscape of projects that engage information technology as a catalytic tool for expanding, augmenting and altering public and social interactions in the urban space. Through essays, case studies and conversations, this book aims to present a critical historical overview of the impact of information technologies on the physical public space while providing an inspiring vision of possible future scenarios for the public realm in a digital culture. Through the projects and prototypes presented, the book aims to dissect the modes in which spatial practitioners operate in the digital city and how information technology and media are tools for place making.
