Premessa

Obiettivo del progetto è promuovere riflessioni sul tema della vita nella società urbana e su come possa essere migliorata.
“Felicity” è un’occasione per i grafici provenienti da tutto il mondo di esprimere,
manifestare, simboleggiare e immaginare soluzioni per una città capace di accogliere e
migliorare la vita dei suoi abitanti.

Filosofia

Due visioni / Due modi di partecipare
1. Espressione di pensiero (critico / propositivo / tematico / sociale)
2. Espressione di intervento (attivo / reale / pratico / urbanistico)
1.
Può essere utile, in tempo di crisi, la grafica?
Quando le condizioni di vita di una comunità sono messe in discussione e tutto sembra
assumere solo i connotati dell’urgenza, il mezzo grafico può diventare strumento per
veicolare messaggi di denuncia, per sensibilizzare e proporre nuove soluzioni,
trasmettere idee, sensazioni e opinioni.
Col tempo le necessità delle popolazioni cambiano e si diversificano, cambiano e si
diversificano anche le competenze e il modo di rappresentarle e comunicarle.
Il progetto Felicity vuole essere un contributo alla riflessione, partendo da una visione
antropologica per arrivare ad individuare opportunità e cambiamenti nella nostra vita
quotidiana, in attesa di un prossimo futuro dove la città diventa un luogo di crescita
migliore.

2.
Come può crescere qualitativamente una città?
Le discipline di progetto della cultura visiva possono essere interlocutori privilegiati del
rapporto tra uomo, territorio e città. Sempre più trovano ascolto, per gli interventi sulla città, oltre ad urbanisti, architetti, sociologi urbani, figure professionali in grado di amministrare l’immagine delle città con un approccio sicuramente molto diverso ma
altrettanto articolato e profondo.
Secondo questa interpretazione il nesso tra grafica e città diventa molto più ricco,
consentendo di leggere il luogo urbano come una grande partitura di segni notazionali;
molti dei quali amministrati e generati appunto dalla grafica.
Gli spazi urbani accolgono, in questo modo, nuove scenografie urbane, tanto eminenti
da influenzare la stessa forma della città e della sua architettura.

The technological evolution of the past years is changing the way we live, work, learn, and entertain ourselves within an environment. It is the age of pervasive and ubiquitous computing, of augmented reality and contamination between digital and real world: designers need to familiarize with new branches of knowledge and competences in order to design spaces that can interpret users’ needs, influence their behavior, and generate visual or tangible experiences.

The goal of these series of workshop is to provide designers, artists and amateurs with practical notions for the design of interactive environments, one of the main field of interaction design, the discipline combining design culture with technological innovation and focusing on the modalities of interaction between human beings and electronic, mechanic, and information systems, such as interactive artifacts, environments, and services.

Target
The participation is open to all concerned people regardless their educational background (visual arts, design, information technologies, engineering).

»The task of the designer is … the revelation of the complex.«
Edward R. Tufte

Con questa citazione viene presentata la serie di incontri e lecture che ha preso avvio lo scorso autunno e che durerà fino a ottobre 2010:
On Information Design 2009/2010, progetto a cura di Petra Černe Oven e Pekinpah Association
16 November 2009–October 2010
Architecture Museum of Ljubljana, Fužine Castle

Come si legge dalla presentazione del programma:
«In 2009 and 2010 an extremely important area of design – information design – will be presented to the Slovene expert public (designers, architects, advertisers, psychologists, linguists, students), as well as other interested public (state institutions, publishing and media houses, pharmaceutical and other industries). [...]
In the Architecture Museum lectures, information design will be presented to Slovene public by six internationally renowned experts in the area of information design, who will speak about the selection, visualisation, interpretation and communication of data. The lecturers will be Yuri Engelhardt (the Netherlands), Rob Waller (Great Britain), Karel van der Waarde (Belgium) and others. [...] After the end of the lecture series, an expert monograph with an accompanying study and contributions by the lecturers will be published.»

•• Multiple Ways to Design Research
Research cases that reshape the design discipline

The Fifth Symposium of the Swiss Design Network wants to highlight
research cases informed by knowledge of other disciplines to understand their relevance for design theories, methods and practices.

The conference aims to present a multidisciplinary overview on research projects - from those ones originated within the design field to those ones originated within other fields - that produce design research outcomes useful to outline those theories, methods and practices which influence and reshape the design discipline.

The framework of the conference is based on the assumption that the evolution of sciences and technologies, and their impact on society, suggests new research questions that constantly tend to expand the ways to design research - in term of topics of interests, approaches and contaminations - research questions that can be relevant for the design knowledge, practice and education.

Delivering both overviews and deepening, the conference keynote speechs and the parallel project sessions are addressed to a wide range of attendees: senior researchers of academia and of corporate R&D departments, PhD and master students coming from different disciplines, industry exponents involved in the design development and production.

Questions of interest are …
•• How do theories, methods and practices from other knowledge domains inform the design research today? And, which kind of exchange exists between them?
•• How does design research evolve in contact with other disciplines or contexts?
•• How does design research informed by other knowledge suggest fundamental questions for the design discipline?
•• Which specific research experience and/or topic outlines relevant design research areas?
•• How does the context of technological innovation and industry drive design research methods and practices and vice versa?
•• Which scientific and artistic fields are producing research outcomes that could be a point of interest for design research and discipline?
