This book’s central argument is that plug-ins, situated design outcomes that aim to enrich the complex system of the city and expand its potentialities, are a solid yet supple conceptual framework for rethinking how design can be a key agent in city making. This book showcases some of the projects developed by Elisava’s Design for City Making Research Lab, a research institute that investigates the role of design in the material and social construction of our habitats, focusing on spatiality, temporality, interactions, meaning, citizen engagement and social impact. Projects by students, professors and researchers, in collaboration with multiple partners including the public administratio...

Despite all their differences, consumers in each major city are drawn to a similar atmosphere: rough wooden tables in postindustrial interiors lit by edison bulbs.

It often references the New York borough, but is shaped by many networked locations where consumers participate in the global circula...

Categorías que, en suma, esbozan el mapa de un universo generoso con quienes se aventuran a explorarlo, como confirman los trabajos reunidos en el presente volumen.
Barcelona y Milán, a pesar de ser dos ciudades muy diferentes respecto a la morfología y a la historia urbana (además, obviamente, de la diferente situación social y política que vivieron sus habitantes entre 1945 y 1977), presentan en gran parte del novecientos características tipológicas convergentes que se pueden reconocer con facilidad, especialmente por lo que se refiere a muchas piezas arquitectónicas de la modernidad construidas a partir de los primeros años cincuenta, cuando los arquitectos más significativos de ambas ciudades entraron en un contacto amistoso y profesional intenso y continuado que se prolongó, con la incorporación de actores diferentes, hasta final del si...
