Envisioning and Prototyping informed by Data project won a research grant MINI Farb at Politecnico di Milano, Design Department.
“InDATA investigates on the role and potentialities of data as activators in the design process identifying in speculative design and prototyping its application fields. In the sphere of experimentation on interactive artifact, smart material and digital fabrication, design fiction and speculative design have a key role. They allow designers to imagine and illustrate a future in which the artifact/technology/innovation is already present, is integrated and operates. Moreover they give designers the possibility to explore assumptions, concepts and possible implications, including critical discussions that investigate on the complexity in social, cultural, ethical and environmental terms. The InDATA research project produces both a theoretical-practical framework and a platform that, starting from open access data, nourish the construction of contextual scenarios so to validate the existence of what is designed, triggering possible innovation that take advantage of hybrid and smart material, and new modes of interaction”.
