Review of "Uome al centro del progetto. Design per un nuevo umanesimo"

Abstract

"Design understood and experienced as a flexible tool for interpreting the transformations of contemporary society. This is how this publication was born, which brings together the research directions of the Politecnico di Torino group, multifaceted but united by a common direction: man, the primary subject of design action, i.e. at the centre of the project". These are the words of Claudio Germak, editor of the work, which includes essays by Germak himself, together with Flaviano Celaschi and Luigi Bistagnino, and case studies written by young researchers from the design research unit and edited by Pierpaolo Peruccio. The work is completed by a glossary, compiled in a choral manner by the entire research unit, which explores the meaning of the terms used and orients the reader in a universe, that of design, of which the volume bears witness to a progressive and inevitable enlargement and fluidification.
