Descrizione dell'iniziativa
University education, responding to the need for operability and excellence, privileges informative and methodological aspects, sometimes neglecting the critical vision of what is happening in the world and in the discipline studied, a condition amplified by an abundance of information (the Internet above all) and by deep-rooted commonplaces, reinforced by the media and fashions. But the critical capacity to operate consciously and to construct one's own positions are indispensable qualities for a good designer.
We propose a course of critical reflections on many topics that are often taken for granted: contrasting interventions in pairs, each on a specific theme. The lecturers will support one or the other position within the proposed antinomies and will call on the students to take a position, through in-depth analysis and criticism, developing dialectical, research and reflection skills.
The course corresponds to a continuation of previous teaching experiences conducted by the course coordinators By way of example, in past years some of the topics covered have been:
ƒ{ Sustainability
ƒ{ Art, design and the market
ƒ{ The role of video communication in today's society
ƒ{ Consumer music and cultured music
ƒ{ Law and codes of law
ƒ{ Artificial intelligence and human responsibility
ƒ{ Universal Suffrage: inevitable?
ƒ{ Synthetic flesh: inevitable?
ƒ{ Education at the Polytechnic: at whose service?
ƒ{ Law in the age of autonomous machines
The course sees the extensive presence of outsiders, well-known personalities from the worlds of music, science, medicine, technology, etc., who are present not simply as speakers, but as participants in the debate.
The course usually ends with the production of a book that collects all the contributions, from lecturers, guests and students, and which is given as a gift to all participants.
By way of example, in past years, Albert (rapper), Enrico Baleri (designer), Alessandro Biamonti (Professor of Design, Milan Polytechnic), Giorgio Bozzini (Surgeon, Head of S. Anna, Como), Umberto Cugini (Professor Emeritus Politecnico, Mechanics), Dijon de Moraes (Designer and Rector of the University of Design of Belo Horizonte, BR), Francesco Galli (Lecturer Iulm), Giuseppe Giusti (Dentist), Enrico Intra (Musician and Lecturer in Jazz), Daniel Levi (Neurosurgeon and Astrophysicist), Silvia Limongelli (Lecturer in Piano, Milan Conservatory of Music), Stefania Maniscalco (lawyer), Alberto Marelli (lawyer), Gianluca Massiotta (architect and set designer), Alessandro Melchiorre (Director of the Conservatory of Music, Milan), Roberta Orio (photographer), Marco Poma (Metamorphosi, videomaker), Marco Rapattoni (piano teacher, Milan Conservatory of Music), Mario Taddei (multimedia artist) and others.
