Ramificazioni digitali del design come bene culturale

L’articolo tratta la collocazione del patrimonio culturale “design” nello scenario digitale presentando la pratica dei Linked open data (Heath e Bizer, 2011) e la sua applicazione ai beni culturali (Hyvönen, 2012). Nella prima parte mostra come questa metodologia di strutturazione dei dati sia strumento particolarmente adatto a rappresentare la contestualizzazione storica e quindi a valorizzare il design in relazione alla cultura materiale che lo ha pensato e generato. Successivamente propone una riflessione sul ruolo del progetto, chiamato a costruire, utilizzando questa memoria digitale, l’interfaccia tra l’uomo e il suo passato

Remembrance Archives

The article proposes a reflection on the design role and a speculative project about the topic of temporality in the digital city. The notion of socio-technical system (Whitworth 2009) is used to show how in a society characterized by high technological density the city model could approach the one of a factory (Armando & Durbiano 2019). In a socio-technical system the capillarity of the interactions between men and machines is central in beating the rhythm of the subjects’ behaviors acting its space. Furthermore in the contemporary landscape the analytics systems producing predictions introduce an additional temporal layer (Hansen 2015) used as a filter to read and design these behaviors (Pentland 2019) and the city planning. Artificial intelligences, synthesizing the data harvested, produce precognition simulating behaviors in the digital in order to anticipate them in the analogical. It is claimed that within these temporal loops only an incremental optimization is possible and that to design exclusively through this filter could cause a folding of time that would lead the city to live in a temporal bubble, whereas the city lives on many different temporal lines contributing to the imagination and to the collective memory (Gregotti 1966). Therefore design has to address this challenge bringing the question of the memory at the project's center (Zannoni 2018). A speculative project called Remembrance Archives is proposed. Remembrance Archives aims to hack the temporal bubble by the injection of data drawn from the past of the city history that will alter the regular output of the artificial intelligence predictive models in unexpected ways, practicing an actual work of remembrance through which people will interact with the city memories as a source of new meanings and imaginar

Imparare dalla didattica a distanza

Beyond the obvious limits, what are the potentialities of architectural design teaching practice when it occurs remotely? Starting from a hypothesis on the describability of the action of the architectural project, the observation of a specific case is used to reason about the possible representations of an architectural design studio
