Convivere con le emergenze. Design e nuovi scenari domestici

The contribution leads a reflection around the physical-relational processes that have always characterized the domestic interior and that the recent state of health emergency Covid-19 (and the even more recent Russian-Ukrainian war conflict) has catalysed and accentuated, if not exasperated, offering new complex and sometimes contradictory visions. The contribution points to focus on new meanings and new projections, in terms of interactions and relationships, assumed by the consolidated physical-cultural criteria of proximity/remoteness, familiarity/foreignness, inside/outside. Within these profound transformations, an opportunity and a new role are looming for the disciplines of design. Objects and object systems, environmental devices and relational, flexible and versatile, adaptable to unforeseen situations, they configure a new domestic space, a scenario for new relationships and contradictions.
