This book collects in a revised form a series of short essays written and published by the author between 2013 and 2017, as the editor of the Rassegna Section in Domus. Contents are organized into homogeneous thematic clusters, ranging from design to technology, concept, languages and production. In the 1970s, Manfredo Tafuri’s renowned essay entitled Architecture and Utopia made an important contribution to defining - in a sort of manifesto - the role of design within society.

The dynamics of isolated-photon plus two-jet production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are studied with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb(-1). Cross sections are measured as functions of a variety of observables, including angular correlations and invariant masses of the objects in the final state, gamma + jet + jet. Measurements are also performed in phase-space regions enriched in each of the two underlying physical mechanisms, namely direct and fragmentation processes.

Energy sustainability of new service buildings should considers the use of envelope materials able to minimize thermal dispersions avoiding at the same time environmental and landscaping impacts specially in the small islands of Mediterranean sea generally characterized by high environmental and landscaping values. In this context, the paper provides an analysis of local materials for the design of low-energy service buildings in touristic islands, according with the concept of re-use.

Several are nowadays the technologies considered determinant enablers of relevant
changes in societies and economies. One of these is Additive Manufacturing.
Additive Manufacturing has been widely hailed as a revolution, hyped by the
covers of publications from Wired, The Economist, Harvard Business Review and
other important magazines. It has been defined as “a historic window of opportunity
to rewrite the rules of industry”.1 An outstanding opportunity to reconfigure the production

Deforming Mirrors and Optical Illusions. Gendered Advertisements in the Practitioners’ Reading. The relationship between gender and advertising is a classic object of socio- communicative research (Goffman 1977), investigated more in content than in public or production. Many articles have focused on sexual stereotyping (Barthel 1988; Belkaoui, Belkaoui 1976; Furnham, Bitar 1993; Furnham, Schofield 1986; Furnham, Voli 1989; García-Muñoz et. al. 1994; Livingstone, Green 1986; Gilly 1988; McArthur, Resko 1975; Mazzella et. al.
