Embracing human diversity through educational technology
Starting with the knowledge related to Ergonomics in Design and design for inclusion, this book aims to provide an opened and integrated point of view to the disciplines of cognitive psychology, pedagogy and human-computer interaction. It configures as a flexible tool for understanding key aspects concerning the use of technologies and their effects, with special regards to the experiential dimension on a human scale, particularly tailored to weaker people.

Environmental systems as a combination of interior design, services, communication and technologies
Interior design is less and less reduced to the mere physical component of space and is instead increasingly projected towards an ‘environmental system’ made up of space, services, communication, and technology. The book highlights the close interconnections between the design of spaces, the creation of services, the application of communication systems, and the exploitation of technologies, allowing us to reveal the tensions and interactions that are unleashed depending on the prevalence of one or another design discipline and the scale at which they take place.

This book presents the results of the FARB (Fondo d’Ateneo per la Ricerca di Base) research project RELIVE, conducted within the Department of Design of Politecnico di Milano. RELIVE aimed to explore and conceptualize a framework for designing living artefacts. The objectives of the research are the conceptualization of original theory regarding livingness and the exploration of design-oriented approaches to craft living artefacts using living materials and digital technologies.
