Verso il "design for each"

By broadly introducing the innovative paradigm of the emerging fifth industrial revolution, the text analyzes this transition in a purposeful key, seeking to identify its potential from an increasingly inclusive, sustainable, and resilient perspective. Human-centered design codified for years must therefore be reinterpreted in light of this new social and labor horizon, in which the productive and cognitive-connective dimensions seem to constitute a unicum. In the field of welfare and care in particular, this scenario opens up unprecedented perspectives: the arts, design, and culture can address the challenge of health with new tools and new sensibilities, introducing systemic innovation starting from individual needs and desires. The “Second Name: Huntington” project, here analyzed as a case study, clearly demonstrates how even in such a complex context as a degenerative illness, design plays a fundamental role as an “activator” of processes, “mediator” of experiences but also “bearer” of enlightening solutions, capable of speaking to everyone, while speaking to each of us individually.
