THE THINKING BEHIND DESIGN

  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 linear city is a city that in the time it’s grown along a terrestrial communication artery for commercial and trasportation motivation.  It has a lengthened and narrow form and it proceeds along a central axes that it’s an infrastructure of trasportation.  It’s born and was developed across a river or a maritime artery or across an infrastructural artery as railways or roads.   Its main characteristic is the linearity or rather growing in linear way and being lengthened and narrow. Soria y Mata , a spanish architect of nineteenth century, theorized this city with linear topology. He proposed the “ Ciudad Lineal ”, an settlement of definite width with a central axes of indefinite length.   In reality there are many historical cities so, that they proceed along a road or a river or a maritime artery, but in the time the urbanization has caused the lost of the distinguishing feature of linearity.  To can conserve this characteristic the cities have ...

  I’m here to write again of cybersecurity in a different point of view from the vision of other people can imagine.  Many persons asked me to talk about cybersecurity in a special session but for me it’s impossible.  In my experience of design contests, also online, I have learnt that the consolidated procedures exist and they belong to security and legal section than creativity. An example are the contests for industrial design where is obligatory that the project:  doesn’t infringe the patents and copyright of others,  didn’t publish,  it remains unpublished until the exit of results and sometimes until the option of acquisition from the promoter of contest.  So it happens either the contest platform or contest organization or candidates have to put in operation the procedures to prevent flight of news or other problems on projects before the exit of results. I can say that the iter doesn’t belong to creativity but meet the discourse of defence of c...

  When we speak about art, all of you consider classical sectors as painting, sculpture, photography and cinema without thinking that also in the programming and in the math there is the development of new artistic paths in line with the graphics and the digital art. They suppose a background of knowledge more extensive lied to mathematical algorithms and complex computer programming.  If the experience in the fractal art allowed me to extend the artistic and mathematical competences, the generative art allowed me to put in practice this competences from the point of view of programming in a different way and in relation with digital graphics.  The common vision of both arts is in the fractal formulas on which is based the study of dinamic systems, in both cases we find the caos in the algorithms and only the designer decides how sets order.  The fractals are geometric object with the character of auto-similarity as defined from the chaos theory and are described as ...

  When I met fractals and fractal art, what aroused my interest were fractal patterns with their forms and geometric structure.  These graphic elements are suitable for studies on pattern in architecture and in industrial design and they have the feature of being creative pattern very artistic and useful for digital art and drawing fabric in the fashion design.  Their compositional relations, the way the form is repeated, and specially that patterns in which there are singolarity have been the object of my studies for many years before arriving at deconstructivism on digital images and in generative art.  The most interesting aspect of the fractal patterns are the variation of structure for the overlap of different structures, the iteration and interaction of the structures between them, or the optical effect of light and colors on the structures.  Among all fractal patterns my interests are focused on patterns have deformation points and show a graphic singu...
