Visual Communication for Natural Capital

Natural Capital is one of the new scenarios in which the discipline of Design - in particular of visual communication - is called to be able to have its say. A radical paradigm shift and approach to the Natural System’s communication project has been underway for about 10 years. The park authority system and the network of actors involved in the management of the Natural Capital of our planet has begun to implement Design-Driven solutions.

The dynamic contribution of the high-level visual cortex to imagery and perception

Mental imagery and visual perception rely on the same content-dependent brain areas in the high-level visual cortex (HVC). However, little is known about dynamic mechanisms in these areas during imagery and perception. Here we disentangled local and inter-regional dynamic mechanisms underlying imagery and perception in the HVC and the hippocampus (HC), a key region for memory retrieval during imagery. Nineteen healthy participants watched or imagined a familiar scene or face during fMRI acquisition.

Città fai-da-te. Tra antagonismo e cittadinanza. Storie di autorganizzazione urbana

Le città sono attraversate da pratiche e processi di appropriazione e riappropriazione, da forme diffuse di autorganizzazione, da attività e iniziative autogestite, da nuove pratiche di convivenza, da movimenti urbani che cercano di praticare una diversa idea di città. Si tratta di un vasto fermento che interessa, anche se in modi molto diversificati, tutte le città del mondo.
