“A good start is half the work”, finally I can say that I moved a first step for my Final Major Project. After weeks thinking about it, I found a theme which really convinced me to develop my dissertation and related project.
From the beginning I had the idea to work on human psychology in order to influence user behaviours,…
Being honest, when I applied for the MA Interaction Design Communication one year ago, I didn’t know exactly what it was about. My original intention was to study Communication Design, however I was intrigued by the Interaction Design program mostly because there were many things which I didn’t know at all. Furthermore, just six months before applying I started to…

It is a project about sustainability. It aims to educate people to become more responsible and save energy. I designed two smart objects: The Stubborn Door and The Morning Window. Both of them can attempt to ‘correct’ human behaviour.

Title: Cheeky Objects
Context: Ecology and energy saving
Rationale: Rise awareness, educating people to electric energy saving…
About three weeks ago I have been, with a trip organised by university, at ThingsCon Conference in Berlin, the main conference on the Internet of Things in Europe. It was its second edition and many people said that it was much bigger compared to last year. Personally I found it of the right size, a good amount of people, but…
This morning the official shooting finally happened. Not everything from the script was respected, as the actors and their number (I wanted 5 people, but only 4 showed up) were different then expected and, most of all, I didn’t calculate that the areas designated for the shooting were incredibly crowded during the weekend. I usually walk past those streets during…
After a project review with Tobias, I changed quite a lot the script of the film. From 3 scenes I reduced it to one, only the one which will see a person walking in the street. Furthermore he suggested me to describe only an idea and better, rather than three in a quick, approximate way. I’ve got only 3 minutes,…
For this exercise I have to generate 15-20 research questions (for now only 7), evaluate them, reflect on the audience and hypothesise where my research may take me.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
– Can DYI play a determinant role for waste management issue?
– How can the maker movement have an impact on the products we usually adoperate arriving to act on…
TIMETABLE:
– Shooting date: Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May.
– Editing time: By Saturday 6th June I’ll have edited and put together the film, to make sure that there is nothing else which is needed to reshoot, in case I’ll have the chance to do it that weekend.
Final editing during the last week before June 15th, project deadline.…
As we come to speak of the role of designers nowadays, I can’t avoid to mention a talk which I already reported in a previous post: the one of Tim Brown, where he urges designer to think big, to focus on the design thinking rather than just design small and often useless products.
“And I’d like to suggest that if…
Ok, I was to pretentious to expect a good first take and as usual I’ve been too cynical with myself and the scene which I thought was pretty bad, for Tobias (our visiting tutor for Speculative Design) is not bad at all, it’s actually a perfect first draft.
Took courage I show it here:
Apparently it was good how I…
