Abstract
The paper aims to investigate some emerging phenomena of nowadays design culture, in order to find interpretative keys suitable to highlights new aesthetic dimensions of the project. The contribution results as a part of a reconnaissance in the field of international design, with particular reference to projects of the last fifteen years. Since the 1970s, a general crisis of Modernity, involves at the same time the founding paradigms of science and art. In this context the culture of design is nimbly able to take new paths beyond the International Style: designers responded constructively, realizing new generations of objects. The contribution proposes some cues for an interpretation of the post-industrial scenario, in order to suggest a set of key-words, emblematic of emerging aesthetics which liven up the latest design; aesthetics that result multiform and sometimes very distant from each other.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
