1950s housing in Milan: Façade design and building culture
Published in João Mascarenhas-Mateus, Ana Paula Pires, Manuel Marques Caiado, Ivo Veiga, History of Construction Cultures, 2021
After the war, historical reviews such as Casabella and Domus restarted, while others such as Cantieri and Vitrum, were founded with the aim of disseminating technical knowledge on glass manufacturing processes, and on the use of prefabricated products. Alluminio, the review founded in 1932 by the Istituto Sperimentale dei Metalli Leggeri, reopened to spread knowledge on the use of light alloys, manufacturing techniques, anodizing processes of the profiles, requirements of plastic seals and on the types of windows. Vitrum: lastre di vetro e cristallo, was the review published as of 1949 by the Centro Informazioni e Studi per le applicazioni del vetro nell’edilizia e nell’arredamento. The review presented the use of glass products in building construction, industrial design and applied arts with an approach that favoured the aesthetical value of creations and of the material and products in the various fields of arts and industrial production.
General Aspects of Science, Design, and Engineering
Published in Tarun Grover, Mugdha Thareja, Science in Design, 2020
The term “design” has many synonyms, where each designer has a unique way to formulate the solution of any problem, whether it’s related to the technical domain of design or to the applied arts. Underpinning the role of the designer in various fields might be different, but the principles remain the same, that is, to redefine how problems are approached, to identify opportunities for action, and to help deliver more complete and resilient solutions.
Applying Bioaffordances through an Inquiry-Based Model: A Literature Review of Interactive Biodesign
Published in International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, 2021
Phillip Gough, Soojeong Yoo, Martin Tomitsch, Naseem Ahmadpour
To understand the scope of the existing literature on biodesign and HCI, we performed a search using the ACM Digital Library (ACM), IEEE Explore Digital Library (IEEE) and Design and Applied Arts Index (DAAI). These databases were chosen to cover a broad range of potential applications of biodesign, particularly those related to HCI. The goal of the literature search was to answer the following questions: Q1 How is biodesign described or defined in the literature?Q2 What is the focus of the current literature on biodesign?Q3 What biodesign projects have been published?Q4 What frameworks or methodologies for biodesign exist?
Toolkits, cards and games – a review of analogue tools for collaborative ideation
Published in CoDesign, 2021
Dorian Peters, Lian Loke, Naseem Ahmadpour
In order to cover both the computing and design literatures, we conducted searches in both the ACM Digital Library – ’the most comprehensive database of computing and information technology literature’ (Frich, Biskjaer, and Dalsgaard 2018) – and the Design and Applied Arts Index (DAAI) (Peer reviewed collection, results in English since 2000) on the terms ‘design AND toolkit’, ‘design AND cards’, ‘creativity support tool’ and ‘ideation’. The results in Table 1 were accurate as of the 27 August 2018.
Design research in healthcare: a systematic literature review of key design journals

‘Applied Arts, Design and Architecture’ (20 articles) and ‘Technology and Engineering’ (19 articles) were the two disciplinary domains most represented (Figure 4). This predominance did not vary much over time (Applied Arts was present in eight of the 20 articles published pre-2014 and twelve of the 24 articles published post-2015, for Technology and Engineering the figures are 7 and 12, respectively). Co-authors with medical affiliations were present in four articles pre-2014 and only one post-2015.
