A systemic approach and multiscale data management. A ‘refrigerator’ case study by Paolo Marco Tamborrini, Eleonora Fiore

“…Many digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, could radically change the way of conceiving a design process, especially when they are used to retrieve essential information to define a problem, identify the requirements and support design decisions, all of which are typical of the pre-design phase. In this essay, we reflect on the complexity of designing, on the need for a systemic approach based on participatory methods and on the use of prototypes as tools to unlock the potential, albeit still largely untapped, use of data for design purposes. …”

Simulation-based learning and digital tools. A trial for Pharmacy Services by Fabrizio Bracco, Maria Carola Morozzo della Rocca, Federica Delprino, Silvia Pregaglia

“… This paper focuses, amidst a collective desire to re-appropriate sociality and a focus on the use of digital and ‘phygital’ practices to promote inclusion and diminish the human impact on the planet, on the choice of hybrid, physical or virtual modes of interaction as a function of punctual rather than generalised needs to foster a conscious and sustained digital transition in university education. The essay deals with the simulation method as an established tool in learning medical disciplines, declining it in an unprecedented scenario such as pharmaceuticals and experimenting with its digitisation. …”

Rhythm, contagion, "cosmic race” by Lorena Grigoletto

“…The aesthetic notion of rhythm, as well as shifting the discourse on mimesis from the visual to the acoustic-emotional dimension, nevertheless presents the characteristics and risks of what Scheler calls “unipathy” or contagion and acquires a particularly important significance when considered as the theoretical premise of the famous Vasconcelian essay The Cosmic Race (1925). This article reconstructs the link between the notions of rhythm, contagion and “cosmic race” to reflect on the question of otherness, on the mimetic-rhythmic processes of the individual and socio-political body, and on the risk of the “desymbolisation” of thought that such a process perhaps conceals. …”
