PUBLIC&OPEN DESIGN

PUBLIC DESIGN it addresses topics of COLLECTIVE INTEREST and supports the AWARENESS about the PUBLIC UTILITY PROCESSES and SERVICES, such as the access to cultural and educational resources, the interaction with public services, the management of mobility, at a scale that goes from urban installations , to spaces, infrastructure, architecture, arriving to urban design.

OPEN DESIGN is the sphere where INDIVIDUALS and COMMUNITIES express themselves following their personal desires and ambitions, and where the socio-technical infrastructure support self-organizing, informal creative processes often embracing a philosophy of “OPEN” sharing of knowledge, resources and processes.

The New TERRITORY of HUMAN RELATION for a New Lighter MATERIAL CULTURE The territory for INTERACTION DESIGN scenarios and strategies based on the introduction of INFORMATION and COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES in the EVERYDAY LIFE environments.

An INHABITED SPACE where people, objects, tools and information live and interact. A relational HUMAN SPACE.

INTERACTION DESIGN TERRITORY

PERSONS vs. USERS / CONSUMERS HUMANIZING TECHNOLOGY

FOCUS ON RELATIONS

DESIGNING BEHAVIORS

INTERACTION DESIGN DEFINITION

/ C:LIFE is a design investigation that starts from the confrontation between the nature of the contemporary city and the desire of people, not users and neither consumers, to communicate, comment, create and share cultural contents by interacting with digital tools and technologies.

we are living in a dense WORLD

/

we are ACTORS of collective EXPERIENCE

with a desire of SELF-EXPRESSION

and we have a lot of QUESTIONS

people and organizations provide some ANSWERS

by simply enriching the RELATIONAL SPACES

that are LISTENING to our CONVERSATIONS

[design strategies]

/

the physical space is a platform for interactive experiences based on the manipulation of objects and information

TANGIBLE ARTIFACTS and SPACES

sensorial qualities such as sound, images and light are the materials for interactive experiences and events

MEDIA SPACES and EXPERIENCES

knowledge is a narration based on social dynamics and experiences resulting from activities such as communicating, sharing of information, comments, annotation and suggestions

PEOPLE as RESOURCES

services and information are synchronized with the local context of the city both in term of space (what happens around here) and time (when)

LOCATION BASED SERVICES

activities and information are visually/auditory overlapped to the physical space by way of augmented reality technologies

AUGMENTED TERRITORY

EXPLORE RESEARCH AND INSPIRATION • choose a scenario and investigate the design framework • collect references, ideas and inspirations that you feel relevant for the investigation domain organizing them in the categories: pure inspirations, enabling technologies, projects and theories • explore, observe and take some photos of the “real” places that can constitute the “scene” of your project

CONCEPT GENERATION & DEVELOPMENT • develop at least 5 divergent concepts through group brainstorming • for each concept annotate and describe synthetically the supported activity, the functionalities of the tools, the characteristics of the context, the role of the involved actors, the type and quality of the content, the technological considerations, etc.

• select one concept and answer to the 6 questions WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY and HOW. • make some PERSONAS and illustrates a scenario of use

N O I S I V EN

FOCUS • make a 20 slides PITCH to attract your audience • use the session to arise some relevant questions and to lead the discussion

E G A G EN

56 56

EXPR ESS STORYBOARDING AND PRESENTATION • show the interaction between users and environment, developing a „one day in the life of..“ storyboard in order to illustrate the main functionalities of the developed concept, with respect to the „real life“ context of use.

• present your project in a pitch of max 15 min describing the IDEA|PROBLEM|CONTEXT; WHAT IS IT?; HOW IT WORKS; VALUES AND POTENTIALS
