THE THINKING BEHIND DESIGN

  Often it happens to who as me works mainly with the digital and technology to receive request of work to show also classical skills of drawing, art and design through traditional techniques with pencil, tempera, water-colour, paper, canvas and prototyping.  Who as me comes from old school of Architecture and Engineering where it used pencil, china and sheets of drawing we find often the request unusual also if we understand the necessity of model-making to show the projects.  From the artistic point of view, this request seems more an attempt to call into question the skills of this type of professionalism tied to digital and technologies.  That does not alter the fact that this request can be satisfy if there are some valid motivations as a request from client for projects tied to some particular cases of design.  When it comes to art, it’s necessary to watch at the question of traditional and new technologies with a view to aesthetic and chromatic research o...

  Critic question: are architecture and building two things that they stay poles apart and from time to time they meet here and there in some example unique and unusual?  To prevent any misunderstanding it have to explain that if for architecture and building we intend to pose a brick on other without any respect for what we are doing, that isn’t neither architecture either building.  Critic question: do the urban planning and the architecture communicate or they do it only for circumstances beyond our control?  We attend often to the discurse economic housing and non economic housing to variegate the offers and to render the market accessible to all, but the problem is that to design a house cannot be only a discurse purely economic because if it is so the houses more expenses distinguish from houses more economic only for the finishes because for the fact of esthetic, form and color there aren’t difference.  In other words a villa with a drooping roof is alway...

  Not always the vat number as independant professional is the right option. In many cases and for different type of activities it can be more useful to open a srl (limited responsability society), expecially if we have to ask for higher funding.  The srl differently from professionals have more opportunities to comply for funding because they have already as base a share capital.  When we open a srl we haven't to forget there are management expenses and some major obligations as regards a professional vat number.  Before we have to see if srl is unipersonale (unique partner) or it has more partners.  We have to remember that a srl is a legal person to which it's asssigned a fiscal code more than a vat number and it's registered in commercial chamber in a known form. At the end of year, moreover, it's obbliged to produce the accounting books certified from an auditor of accounts.  On the foundation it have to sign a memorandom of association in which they h...

  In the context of design and project management are used methods or charts ground to proceed in consolidate way to design so to not distract the designer from main objective.  One of these is the 5W2H method that it is based on seven questions or seven pivot points on which either the project or the designer have to respond and from which it cannot escape in the design process.  The seven questions are listed below:      What      Why      Where      When      Who      How      How much  In the context where it is applied the method, we have as first point WHAT that it represents the problem to solve, a product to create or an objective to reach in the context of design, of management or of communication.  We have as secont point WHY that they are the motivations to solve or the necessities that they take to design or to reach the objectives in the conte...

  Who of us at least one time in the life isn't been in a museum?  Among the museums I have chosen three of deconstructivist style that they represent the way in which the deconstructivist architecture relates to the urban context and integrates with it.  The first museum is the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao city in Spain of the architect Frank Gehry.  It's known particularly to architects and students of architecture as an example of deconstructivist architecture, it likes for its sinuous forms but especially because it's known to be an example of urban redevelopment of Bilbao harbor turning it as a pole of cultural attraction for the entire area.  It's known also to engineering technicians to be covered of titanium plate sheets that they change its colours in function of weather and sun exposure and to be designed with CATIA, advanced software of design and computing in aerospace industry.  In the museum there are works of artists as Richard Serra, Sol Lewi...
