O design é responsável por moldar o ambiente construído, o mundo digital e os produtos e serviços que usamos. Estamos em transição de uma economia alimentada por força e máquina para uma economia cada vez mais alimentada por serviços e tecnologia. O mundo está mudando mais rápido do que nunca – socialmente, tecnologicamente, ambientalmente, politicamente e economicamente. “Os designers devem se tornar o que, em biologia, é chamado de ‘mutagênico' – um agente que produz mutações no mundo artificial. A interação entre disciplinas e pessoas é crucial.” Carlo Ratti, director of the MIT Senseable City Lab, designers of Treepedia Neste bom dia UX com o querido mito Luli, vamos procurar entender o impacto mais amplo que as empresas de design e os profissionais de design estão tendo no crescimento e na inovação, e claro, as pessoas que compõem os setores-chave do design. Ao passar dos anos, o design tem expandido seus braços de atuação. Quais serão essas novas fronteiras é a grande questão. Temos visto um design mais ativista, participativo, afetando cidades, midia e até mesmo a política. Dizem que estamos indo além. Mais do que apenas Design. Será? O pensamento de sistemas (systems thinking) será fundamental? O que isso significa? Qual será o futuro do design?

Episode Summary:In today's episode we meet Giovanni de Niederhäusern, a Senior Vice President of Pininfarina's Architecture unit. Giovanni shares with us his journey from managing various projects in the fields of design and architecture to becoming one of the driving forces behind Italy's legendary design and engineering company. Giovanni decodes Pininfarina's visionary architecture equation that is beauty + technology = impact, speaks about architecture at the forefront of environmental sustainability, and reveals the firm's fundamental protocol for social impact consisting of three pillars - 'additional', 'intentional' and 'measurable'. Listen to our episode co-hosted with the designer, engineer and a creative director of Milan's Md'A Design Agency - Kiana Talebpour.The Speaker: Starting from his days in academia, with an engineering and architecture degree in 2008, and in prominent professional experiences before and after (MIT Senseable City Lab as Research Affilate, 2009; and Carlo Ratti Associati, initially as designer and PM and then as CEO in 2017), Giovanni's views on melding innovation with design and architecture have been the leitmotiv which also has brought into Pininfarina, after being appointed Senior Vice President of Architecture in 2019.His research work and proximity to Academic Institutions, as lecturer and speaker, allows him to drive his team to be at the forefront of architectural innovation.With a business approach honed by his international project management experience and an MBA in 2014, Giovanni is at the helm of the Architecture division to expand the company's range of activities in design and architecture, reinterpreting the company's philosophy and proposing a new perspective that equates impact with the combination of beauty and technology.Hosts: Farah Piriye (ZG19) & Kiana Talebpour (Md'A Design Agency)Sign up for ZEITGEIST19's newsletter at https://www.zeitgeist19.comFor sponsorship enquiries, comments, ideas and collaborations, email us at info@zeitgeist19.com Follow us on Instagram and Twitter

The digital revolution is changing the way we live today as radically as the industrial revolution did almost two centuries ago. As urbanisation accelerates across the world, digital media and information technologies integrated with the built environment hold huge potential for understanding, designing, and managing future cities. As Melbourne tries to secure its place amongst the most liveable cities, a multidisciplinary approach from diverse fields such as city planning, architecture, engineering, computer science, and social science is needed to foster urban innovation. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Senseable City Lab, as champions of urban imagination and social innovation through design and science, have been working in Melbourne to develop this vision with the Victorian State Government, MIT graduate students and Swinburne University’s Smart Cities Research Institute and postgraduates. Architect, engineer and director of the MIT Senseable City Lab, Carlo Ratti, brings his experience of turning contemporary media technology to the cause of social innovation in cities across the breadth of the globe in this conversation with Professor Rob Adams AM, city design director at City of Melbourne.

ABSTRACT: The real-time city is now real! The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics in recent years is allowing a new approach to the study of the built environment. The way we describe and understand cities is being radically transformed – alongside the tools we use to design them and impact on their physical structure. BIOGRAPHY: Professor Carlo Ratti directs MIT Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, MA, and practices architecture in Turin, Italy. He has authored over 200 publications and holds several patents. His Digital Water Pavilion at the 2008 World Expo was hailed by Time Magazine as one of the Best Inventions of the Year. He has been included in Esquire Magazine's Best and Brightest list, in Blueprint Magazine's 25 People who will Change the World of Design and in Forbes Magazine's People you need to know in 2011. Ratti recently served as the inaugural Innovator in Residence in Queensland, Australia.
