The research is based on the product innovation field, with particular reference to materials from natural sources and furniture. With a view to strengthening the regional circular economy, the research hypothesis is that the production waste, defined as ‘processing mud’, can be re-processed in order to obtain new material with renewed characteristics both from a technical and an aesthetic point of view.

Starting from the renewed interest in manufacturing processes directly linked to creativity, sustainability, mass customization, practical innovation and experimentation, enhanced by the so called makers' revolution and by the new arts and crafts movements, the paper explores the on going transformations in the manufacturing places focusing on the Fab Lab sites as new hubs for sharing knowledge and skills. The dissertation is supported by a practical experimentation, carried out by the authors, based on a co-design workshop and a proactive interdisciplinary activity addressed to identify the processes of social innovation involving both expert and not expert designers in the context of digital design and fabrication processes. As a result Bright Light, a small lamp, has been produced in order to finalize the codesign processes with a smart artefact.

This requirement forced the engineers engaged in the design of rail infrastructure to deal with the appearance of geometric and tectonic cut stone, feeding an international debate on the issue of stone bridges. Among the most significant achievements we could report at the time, there was the bridge on Trilport Marne, designed by Hupeau and Chézy between 1756 and 1760 (destroyed by a mine during the war in 1814), but above all the Pont Neuf in Paris (the oldest stone bridge in the capital, designed by J. du Androuet Cerceau, F. des Isles, G. Marchand, T. Métezeau, one of whose segments which consists of 5 arches applianced with orthogonal method) opened in 1603. Despite significant examples in France, the first modern investigation on oblique bridges and related achievements were British studies, such as Chapman in Ireland and Finlay in 1787. The practical initial speculation then became defining the most appropriate solution to the problem, outlining a geographical subdivision (France, Spain, England, Italy) based on the principal methods of equipment, whose supporters argued with detailed studies of the stereotomic treatises of the principles of geometry, the essays of applied mechanics. This short essay will attempt to reconstruct, through the nineteenth sources, the process of the historical and academic subject of oblique bridges, from the roots of stereotomic treatises to modern publications.

Il seminario organizzato nell’ambito delle attività del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Industrial Design mette insieme esperti delle discipline del progetto negli ambiti del prodotto industriale, della moda e dell’architettura degli interni ed esperti degli studi umanistici negli ambiti della semiologia e sociologia.
Il dibattito interdisciplinare indagherà il valore simbolico delle “cose”, nella complessa accezione che la contemporaneità propone della dimensione materiale e immateriale, delle pratiche d’uso e consumo e del rapporto tra identità locale e globale.
Il senso degli oggetti, degli abiti e del cibo, attraverso il significato che gli viene attribuito nella dimensione di artefatto nel rapporto intersoggettivo con l’ambiente, sarà oggetto della riflessione critica che scaturirà dai diversi interventi dei docenti invitati (Imma Forino, Gianfranco Marrone, Patrizia Ranzo, Medardo Chiapponi, Viviana Trapani, Patrizia Calefato)
