  • Design Contributions for the COVID-19 Global Emergency (Part 1): Empirical Approaches and First Solutions
    (2020-12-23) Rossi, Emilio; Di Nicolantonio, Massimo; Ceschin, Fabrizio; Mincolelli, Giuseppe; dos Santos, Aguinaldo; Kohtala, Cindy; Jacques, Edu; Cipolla, Carla; Manzini, Ezio
     A1 Alkuperäisartikkeli tieteellisessä aikakauslehdessä
    This is a landmark publication for the field of design. It was catalysed by unprecedented circumstances, as designers around the world had to rapidly deploy their competencies in strategic problem-solving to help humanity in the fight against an invisible enemy during a global pandemic. In alliance with other disciplines, from medicine to mechanical engineering, from computing to anthropology, designers everywhere have addressed the challenges and produced remarkable results through a diversity of initiatives. This Special Issue presents a peer-reviewed sample of these initiatives.
  • Design contributions for the COVID-19 global emergency (Part 2): Methodological reflections and future visions
    (2021-01) Rossi, Emilio; Di Nicolantonio, Massimo; Ceschin, Fabrizio; Mincolelli, Giuseppe; dos Santos, Aguinaldo; Kohtala, Cindy; Jacques, Edu; Cipolla, Carla; Manzini, Ezio

  • Platforms for re-localization. Communities and places in the post-pandemic hybrid spaces

    Beside addressing the emergency, design practice and research could focus on how COVID-19 is influencing existing trends in order to strategically plan for a post-pandemic phase where the "new normality" means living in ecological and socio-economic crises. This article focuses on what the pandemic crisis teaches us on the issue of local communities and related digital technologies. How can we design for and with the new kind of communities emerging because of COVID-19? The background of this research is the experimentation and research at the intersection of two themes (as they were before the COVID-19 crisis): The construction of communities related to the place where they are located (community of place), and the design of enabling platforms of re-localizing processes (place-making infrastructure). The article draws an overview of the changes that the pandemic has brought to communities, the emerging hybrid communities of the new normality (i.e., communities before, during and after COVID-19). Finally, it proposes 10 design guidelines for the development of resilient, fair and open platforms supporting and assessing the new emerging hybrid communities and their distributed activities (i.e., platforms for communities after COVID-19).
