TONDO works mechanically: by pulling the string, the hands rotate at different speeds, following a carillon's melody. Magnetic, interchangeable gures are attached to them. The characters are taken from Grimm brothers tales, and the original stories can be mixed with imagination. The backgrounds are designed the same way, and allow to the gures to move between them. Yellow and blue lights create day or night atmosphere. A complete working prototype of the project was made.

After researching facts and speculations about future technologies, their societal impacts, applications and probable appliances, a narrative was created, in which a future scenario has become reality. The aim was to understand how Design can intervene, inuence and what it can add to the existing reality, in order to show a convincing future scenario. In this context, products, services and tools for the world of tomorrow were imagined and designed. What if food production became digital and networked? How would digitally designed food look like? NEOTRITION project describes a possible scenario of the food vending industry being based on 3D printing. 3D food printers replaced standard vending machines in the city to provide the perfect food, made on demand for the individual nutrition needs. Touch-screens display different options, ingredients, nutritional values and shapes to choose from. The user personal informations are accessed, to compose the perfect menu. This scenario has, however, one aw: any system based on digital technology can be hacked, invaded and altered...

At the same time, he can observe the lapse that separates him from his friends or relatives timezone. The wish of the project is to help people far from each other to feel more connected in a visual, continuous way; Lightzone represents them together in a walk across days and nights. Thanks to RGB colors principle, applied to the design and to the lights, the effect of day and night in the users location is obtained, with representative pictures switching every 12 hours. Little gures can be attached in different positions, according to the time lapse between us and our beloved ones. The gures will then move together, according to the passing hours. Body made of acrylglas and wood; a red and green pattern design is printed beneath. The Led lights are switching between red and green, to show alternatively the different designs for day and night. The gures on the clock hands represent the user and people in a different time zone; they are following each other according to the passing hours. The mechanism is programmed with Arduino. 13. 22 23 PHOOKA - Interactive lamp, 2014 Interactive night lamp for children with touch sensors, shaped as a customizable monster. The capacitive sensors and Leds are programmed with Arduino. The wish is to help children to overcome the fear of monsters and darkness, proposing a friend that helps them to ght these fears together. Phooka is a shapeable creature designed to meet the fears in a positive, funny, gentle way; an interactive tool to approach them by playing. It shows to children what is behind the fear and teaches them to use imagination to create positive thoughts rather than frightening monsters. It stimulates curiosity, creativity and helps to develop self-condence. Phooka is a "monster" that wants to ght fears together with the child.

Components designed and lasercutted out of acrylglas GS. The model contains a Led ring and capacitive sensors. The whole design is done after actual childrens fears drawings. 15. 26 27 LIFE-SUSTAIN in extreme conditions - Mountains and the human body, 2014 Challenges: Helping climbers and hikers against freezing and hyphotermia in case of emergency situations; Allowing survival in mountain accidents; Provide help to unprepared victims of changing weather; Extending lifetime until the arrival of rescue; Maintaining warmth in critical areas of the body; Preventing body parts damage caused by frost and wind; Integrating into existing equipment and behaviours Intervention The most favorable is in the worn clothes, since these items are in common to both targets. The jacket is always taken with, in all weather conditions. The clothing is also in direct contact with the body of the wearer and with the external environment. Facts The experienced climbers put themeselves more at risk than beginners and they are more exposed to accidents. Professionals often are also too condent and make silly mistakes, such as forgetting to check the equipment. Generally, there are less professionals than beginners, so this is even a more important percentage. Mount Eiger in Switzerland is one of the most dangerous for climbers because of its technical difculties and unstable weather: as in the past as nowadays, it constantly claims victims. 90% of deaths occur because of environmental factors and rapid weather change: it slows down the trip, makes climbers / hikers get lost and/or stuck for the night or for days without being prepared or sufciently equipped; so they freeze to death until rescues nd them. In the best scenario, they are saved at the price of losing limbs due to the frost. 16. 28 29 Room temperature: 0C 20C 35C Core temperature 37C 36C 34C 32C 31C 28C e tCor aturempere t eatur 34C 36C 37C 31C 32C 34C 28C Room t aturemperRoom t e: 0C 20C 35Cature: 0C 20C 35Ce: 0C 20C 35Ce: 0C 20C 35Ce: 0C 20C 35Ce: 0C 20C 35C Sweating areas: Need to be free for perspiration Main heat loss zones: Design intervention areas 1A+1B: heating pads Limbs: rst areas to cool-down Need freedom of movement Design intervention areas 2: reective bands Ordinary external appearance of the jacket; Inner heating pads and bands: the hidden interventions increase the functionality 17. 30 31 Air-valve: Self-inating when opened Inatable inner pads: Filled with Open-cell foam Solution 1A Preventing heat loss from central body areas Through air-lled inatable pockets situated over the needed zones: to release air inside, the valve must be opened, then closed. For security matters it is possible to inate also through nozzles. The air provides insulation in needed areas, keeping bodys natural warmth. 18. 32 33 Solution 1B Preventing heat loss from central body areas through chemistry Chemical reactions can convert energy with minimum loss during transformations. Integration in the jacket of chemical compounds-based pads, situated over the needed zones, producing heat. The pockets are lled with Zeolite pellets adsorbed on liquid Sodium Acetate: when they absorb water, a heat-release reaction occurs. Pads containing water are placed on shoulders: through pressure on nozzles, this is released into the bags starting the reaction. The interaction between pads occurs through branch-structured tubes closed by plastic valves. All the pads are removable and rechargeable, since the reaction is reversible. The Zeolite pads must be heated to return at the initial condition: the water molecules escape as steam from the pads made of semi-permeable membranes. Heating bags lled with Zeolite + Sodium Acetate pellets Water pads for the reaction Inner branch- structured network for water dissipation 19. Solution2 Preventing cooling down and freezing of limbs Through thermal bands, wrapped on areas over main blood vessels, which reect back bodys own heat. These bands are also integrated in the jacket in specic zones. They keep the limbs own warmth inside, by reecting it back to the blood circulation. Keeping the heat into the vessels mainly prevents heat loss by evaporation and convection. 34 35 The molecule of Zeolite incorporates the molecule of Sodium Acetate Reversible reaction CH3COONa Sodium Acetate molecule of Zeolite H2O (A) Molecules of Sodium Acetate + Zeolite (pellet soaked with water) (B) At 54-56C the molecules of water are separated (C) At 100C the molecules of water are tran- sformed in steam and they can easier exit (D) Semi-permea- ble membrane A C D B Porous surface and high absorbency: the Zeolite slows down the water absorption by the inner Sodium Acetate, acting like a wall. Absorption process prolongued: the heat release phase (substances in contact with water) is accordingly longer.

It is based on citizens collected opinions. The emerging result is that Dessau is a city to explore, that offers various activities, although they are not properly known. Tourists come only to visit the Bauhaus, and even students have trouble getting in contact with other places of interest. I Love Dessau is an App that aims to solve this information problem, by bringing the visitors to very "personal" places of the city. The guide is based on points of view of local people: their favorite areas have been included in the App with quotes and ratings. The users can therefore explore the city through the eyes of the citizens; the App is available in many languages.

It wishes to make easier to meet people with different skills, to exchange professional opinions in an informal and pleasant way. If a designer needs an engineering advice for a project, why not to invite an engineer out for lunch? And at the same time to have an agreeable and constructive conversation? It is an ideal length of time, that all professionals have generally free. It is possible to dene search parameters to select people for a meeting, such as the professional prole, and to set the own time and area of availability. This App is strictly professional and is related to Linkedin prole. The users can nally rate each other through feedbacks. 28. 52 53 29. 54 55 Photography and graphic designs 30. 56 57 Concept, pictures and presen- tation poster of a performance Concept, pictures and poster for an exhibition of found objects 31. 58 59 On the Road, 2009 Prizewinner picture of a photo contest organized by InformaGiovani Magazine, Varese (IT)2013 32. 60 61 Logo, favicon, site and corporate image designs realized for BeginGreen, 2014 - www.begingreen.com
