BOOKS BY CARMEN BRUNO

Questo volume tratta i temi dell’Ergonomia in rapporto al Design – e viceversa – e ne presenta una lettura fortemente orientata alla specificità del Design inteso nel significato italiano del termine, ossia nelle sue diverse declinazioni di Design del prodotto (fisico e virtuale), degli interni, della comunicazione, della moda, basato sulla sintesi progettuale di conoscenze e competenze umanistiche, artistiche, tecnologiche e delle scienze sociali.

The environmental emergency of the last century has led to an urgent need to reformulate the predominant role of human beings on the planet by undertaking a less anthropocentric design approach. Within this theoretical framework, the book explores the role of Design as a multifaceted discipline capable of exploring the complexity of a changing world, and reconsiders the human being’s position in a pervasive relationship with the contemporary environments through a More-than-Human approach.

This book proposes an overview of the researches initiated in 2015 in the Design PhD programme of Politecnico di Milano. All of them explore the implications of the ongoing digital transformations, from the specific perspective of design research. Throughout the book, the cultural, organisational, social, and managerial issues raised by digital technology, are debated and how such issues call for a reframing of design processes, practices and models.
