Design & Nature V
With the onward march of science and technology, and the continuing quest for improvement, there is a growing curiosity about the world around us. Close examination of structures in nature can be rewarding and surprising Nature has shown an extraordinary capacity to develop dynamic structures and systems over many millions of years and there is still much to be learnt. Aimed at providing researchers in this subject with fresh impetus and inspiration, this book consists of papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on Design and Nature. The contributions reflect the rich variety of work currently taking place around the world and cover the following topics: Nature and Architecture; Mechanics in Nature; Natural Materials and Processing; Solutions from Nature; Biomimetics; Biomimetics and Bioinspiration; Biocapacity; Education in Design and Nature, and Helical Design in Nature.
L'attore. Gli attori
Claudio Vicentini, attraverso gli studi che ha dedicato alla recitazione, ha fornito all'approfondimento di questo argomento un contributo fondamentale che è di riferimento per chiunque si occupi, da un punto di vista scientifico, di attori. Le sue allieve e i suoi allievi, volendo dedicargli un volume, hanno pensato di farlo riunendo saggi dedicati proprio all'attore e alla recitazione. Ne è nato il montaggio di voci diverse che hanno indagato il tema da prospettive e angolazioni di lettura in grado di mettere in evidenza le qualità plurali che della recitazione sono peculiari. Di qui il titolo del libro che evidenzia come la questione dell'attore emerga con tanta maggiore forza quanto più il discorso si diversifica e si moltiplica. C'è, però, un tratto comune che lega i diversi studi tra loro ed è il taglio metodologico, che deve moltissimo al magisterio di Vicentini, basato sull'analisi concreta dei fatti, sui documenti, sulla prospettiva critica in grado di legare specifici eventi artistici a problemi di natura storiografica.
Systems Science and Cybernetics - Volume I
The subject “Systems sciences and cybernetics” is the outcome of the convergence of a number of trends in a larger current of thought devoted to the growing complexity of (primarily social) objects and arising in response to the need for globalized treatment of such objects. This has been magnified by the proliferation and publication of all manner of quantitative scientific data on such objects, advances in the theories on their inter-relations, the enormous computational capacity provided by IT hardware and software and the critical revisiting of subject-object interaction, not to mention the urgent need to control the efficiency of complex systems, where “efficiency” is understood...
The Enthusiasms of Centerbrook
The enthusiasms of the Centerbrook partners are embodied in the design work they create - not only the specific enthusiasms that are so well explained in this book, but also a belief in taking chances, in pursuing one's enthusiasms even if they lead to u
Ecodynamics
This book contains a series of outstanding contributions on ecodynamics that appeared in limited editions before the emergence of the International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics, which has now become the primary focus for this area of research.The aim of ecodynamics is to relate ecosystems to evolutionary thermodynamics, which can lead to appropriate solutions for sustainable development. The contributions published in this volume relate to all aspects of ecosystems and sustainable development, ranging from physical sciences to economics and epistemology.The world of ecosystems has been dominated by the towering personality of Ilya Prigogine to whom this volume is dedicated. The...
