SMC Special Issue N.03 2019 | PROJECTS

The work research team is an incredible moment of professional, cultural and human growth. The projects presented briefly in the following pages were processed during a brain storming, lasting three days at the CITTAM; professional figures of International importance were involved with a group of young designers who, following their indications, tried to developed design proposals for covering an historic court yard using sustainable textile materials and easily recyclable wooden struts. The experience – which for brevity can only be mentioned here – was an opportunity to transumi technical and technological knowledge, but also to elaborate complex and unusual formal solutions, developed thanks to the joint use of dedicated software, and models created with elastic materials, able to simulate the behavior of membranes. The great variety of projects developed by the different sensitivities of the authors is always surprising: the following pages show the names of all the participants, divided into research groups, and some illustrative images of the work done.
