Seven Years of Design Research at Politecnico di Milano

Analysis of the funded research projects

Which are the main research funds currently accessed by the Department of Design? What are the topics explored through them and which are the interconnections with the Department core research activities? Also, what are the research products delivered, the reached outcomes, and the expected impacts BY these research projects? The book synthesises the results of a qualitative analysis conducted over 32 research projects coordinated or participated in by the researchers of the Department in the timeframe 2014-mid 2021. The results of the analysis confirm the high-level attractiveness of the Department research profile on core topics such as design methodology, service design, and health.

Il Design di prodotto oggi

Progettare con gli utenti: gli elettromedicali

Il volume, alla luce delle recenti trasformazioni del sistema azienda-prodotto-mercato, propone un approccio ergonomico alla progettazione, come metodologia orientata all’innovazione di un prodotto che tenga conto della centralità dell’uomo come utente e operatore. Il testo presenta un percorso progettuale ispirato all’user centred design, e illustra alcuni casi studio sul tema degli elettromedicali domestici.
