THE THINKING BEHIND DESIGN

  In their development, the arts as the thinking are always influenced from the society that it generated them but the architecture and the urban planning for the fact to be lived space had mainly felt the importance.  The architecture isn’t a pure representation, neither of the society or less for the aesthetical tendency of the moment, but it used of the representation to be comprised, in the interpretation that it does of the necessity of the society to which belongs. It isn’t the assembly of the image used to sell a product, but it uses the images to be coded from audience either it is the client or it is the user. It is an aggregated interpretation of the spaces, paths and functions, connected among them to generate volumes and forms, not finalized to themself, but in a complex draw of colours, lights and shades.  In the architectonic critic there isn’t so a further interpretation, it hasn’t sense. It must be analytical opinion on how the designer had to operate ke...

  The Cube City Nr 4 represents morphologically a satellite city or rather the phenomenon that in urban planning is called conurbation: the cities near the great city are designed to decentralize the services and to decongest the great city in a prospective of expansion till to reach megaregions.  In the time the great city and the nearby ones they unite untill to lost completely their urban connotations and the configuration of many cities becoming a unique city called megacity.  All these small cities around the great city represent their satellites and are correlated the great city.  The small cities grow so according to their own urban plans and/or proceeding along the direction of expansion suggested from the great city.  It seems to live in a neighbourhood of a city but in reality you live in a city that it is part of a megaregion.  We have many megacities. I have choosen as examples four of these.  The first city is Biddhannagar, it was born to ...

  The laws on privacy isn’t enough when we talk from a technical and design point of view of information applications because not all data and neither the cookies are essential.  As user and beta test in some online platforms I took care of this point particularly from the technic point of view.  Always placing the blame solely  on users the question it isn’t the right direction and neither to block the access to the service because we haven’t accept cookies for marketing pourpose it isn’t correct.  The aspect from technician, also in the beta, is more complex.  Particularly in some professional ambits almost we are daily immersed in the technologies and we cohabit, in many cases, also in the night.  The technology in many cases interact with the technologies nearby and it’s necessary of interoperability. This point doesn’t mean that it’s necessary to pass all but it’s enough the essential personal data and the permission of user in connection to the r...

 The coming of new technologies made emerged since the first times some questions relative to the treatment of personal data and the rights of private life of the users.  The law has placed the foundations on these two aspects in Italy since year 1996 with the law 675 and then subsequently with the law 196 of year 2003 together European Union with the directives  UE 2002/58/CE and the current GDPR.  What from the beginning it’s pointed out in the drafting of the law in the years nineties was that the use of a service and consequentially the transfer of personal data for the usage of service doesn’t obblige to accept the selling of own data, to third parties tied to company or external it, in addition to the fundamental right to private life of each one of us.  Our data are often used to marketing purpose and market research and they don’t contribute to the quality of services, often they are methods at the limit of legality to extort the selling of further servi...

  In architecture there are many projects that they prove interesting solutions either as architectonic structures with their stylistic characteristics or as urban presence aimed to redevelop or regenerate neighborhoods.  As consequence, the redevelopment of portions of the city makes the neighborhoods become attractive centers where it’s the projectal operation, not only of social type but also of tourist type.  For this post I have choosen two itineraries for two covered markets.  These markets are taken in consideration not only for architectural operation but also for urban context.    If you are in Barcelona you could take in consideration the idea to visit the Santa Caterina Market of Miralles Tagliabue EMBT.  The architectural operation is known to architects for the forms and the structure but it attracts also other persons of other sectors for the particularity of the roof visible also from satellite maps.  The structure is...
