*Designing with Data, Data for Design
*
ABSTRACT
=========
For an architect, and a designer, data could be seen as a new (!), very
peculiar, material; one that opens up to new form-giving processes and
outcomes, driven by its set of underlying technologies. A material that
the design process itself may use to work (better) and produce through
its operations, thus leading to a potential (needed?) reframing of
design as a practice and as a discipline. The talk will delve into this
reciprocal relationship: how can design optimize data-intensive
processes to enhance their effectiveness and significance? In what ways
can data and algorithms be leveraged to improve (?) the design process?
Potential impact and consequences of this two-folded relationship will
be discussed.
SPEAKER
========
Architect and Communication Designer, Paolo Ciuccarelli joined
Northeastern University in 2019 as founding director of the Center for
Design and Professor of Design. At Politecnico he coordinated the
Communication Design program (BSc and MSc), has been a member of the
board at the PhD in Design and co-directs the DensityDesign Research
Lab: an award-winning laboratory doing research on data visualization
and information design he founded in 2010. Paolo’s research focuses on
the design transformations that help make sense of data and information
to improve decision making processes, especially with non-expert
stakeholders and for controversial complex social issues.
He also works in developing tools and methods to understand and orient
the evolution of design as a discipline and a practice, in the frame of
a meta-design approach and with a focus on emerging technologies,
including AI.
Paolo Ciuccarelli is author of best-paper awarded publications, lectured
at Royal College of Arts, ENSCI Les Ateliers, Glasgow School of Arts,
king’s College and Stanford Humanities Centre and has been invited to
talk at conferences such as Eyeo, TEDx, Visualized, NetSci, Congreso Futuro.
He's partner at The Visual Agency, Senior Affiliate at Harvard metaLAB
and co-editor at Big Data & Society – SAGE Journals.
