The planning stage course described in this result of thesis goes inside a field taking part to the development of these four spheres: being able to make a light element and the consequent reduction of the material used. being able to make a resistent element helping in stiffening the structure. the connection between visual instability and effective stability. tension, mechanical property acting as adhesive to the above mentioned characteristics. I have structured a well precise, reflexive and experimental course, mainly subdivided into three moments: - a first step of analysis and search of the background: i have explored four subjects one by one, four fondation points of my thesis: making light elements, making resistant elements, visual instability and effective stability and tension. The first chapter introduces a general prospeer explaining how these aspeers have influenced and still influence design and how design takes possession of them. To each of these characteristics I have dedicated a chapter, introduced by some quotations aimed at the subject of designers having influence in the design world. My result of thesis aims at merging this four subjects to the search of a new background, as from these four properties, already implied one by one in the design, in order to designate, by merging them, a new planning typology. In the second chapter of search, leaving the three subjects temporarily: making light elements, making resistant elements, visual instability and effective stability, I have analysed thoroughly at 360° the meaning ascribed to this word. I have explored tension in three spheres: tension in nature, tension in art and tension in architecture. Then, I have examined the field concerning design. Even in this case I have subdivided this sphere in three underchapter: tension and air, tension and the tight membranes and tension and reticular structures. This last point, analysed in a more detailed way is the sphere chosen by me and developped in this result of thesis and colleets a cataloguing of objects of design studied during all the period of the research: products and interesting hints under the plaining point of view, where a ficked up my ispiration leading me to a real concept. A second step of planning stage development and focus on concept: experiment on the opportunities offered by the materials to get resistant structures by using a least quantity on the materials. Experimenting in the field of design, structures used in a different sphere: the nautical one. At last, a third chapter, concerning the study of an exemplifying plan, where the elements is determined in all its peculiarities; I have wished to study in detail and realize one of the concept as the theme developped by me does not linger over the formal solution only, but it is based above all on the theme of resistance got by using a least stiff quantity of material. I put my hands on the problems and aolutions being created and to their efficacy. The purpose is to give attention to the characteristics of the materials offered today by market: giving importance to material intended not only as decoration, but mainly chosen thanks to its structural and functional characteristics. Adopting structures used in the nautical sphere, I have experimented the limits of the material inventing new formal typologies. As far as, minimizing thicknesses and material does the product hold and work? The planning idea is based precisely on the sentence “to make resistant and light”, praticable by the stiffening of tight elements coexisting in the plan, assuring compression and tensile stress resistance. The whole paragraph could be summed up reproposing a Renzo Piano’s sentence. “It’s always necessary to have the eagerness to experment, to take off as much as possible fill everything falls to the ground”
Il percorso metaprogettuale presentato all’interno di questo elaborato di tesi si va ad inserire all’interno di un campo che prende parte allo sviluppo di questi quattro ambiti: il saper far leggero e la conseguente riduzione di materiale impiegato. il saper fare resistente, contribuendo all’ irrigidimento della struttura. la relazione tra instabilità visiva e stabilità effettiva. la tensione, proprietà meccanica che fa da collante alle caratteristiche elencate sopra. Ho strutturato un percorso ben preciso, riflessivo e sperimentale, suddiviso principalmente in tre momenti: -un primo step di analisi e ricerca dello scenario. Ho esplorato singolarmente quattro temi, quattro punti cardine della mia tesi: fare leggero, fare resistente, instabilità visiva e stabilità effettiva e tensione. Nel secondo capitolo di ricerca, ho analizzato il concetto di tensione. Nell’ambito della tensione ho approfondito con uno sguardo a 360°, il significato che viene attribuito a questa parola. In seguito ho esaminato il campo relativo al design. Suddividendolo in tre sottocapitoli: la tensione pneumatica, le membrane tese e la tensione e le strutture strallate. Quest’ultima, analizzata più nel dettaglio è l’ambito da me scelto e sviluppato in questo elaborato di tesi, e raccoglie una catalogazione di oggetti di design. -un secondo step di sviluppo metaprogettuale e focus sui concept: con sperimentazioni sulle possibilità offerte dai materiali per l’ottenimento di strutture resistenti con un utilizzo quantitativo minimo dei materiali. Sperimentando nel campo del design strutture impiegate in nell'ambito nautico. -infine, un terzo capitolo che riguarda lo studio degli elementi di giunzione. L’obiettivo è quello di porgere attenzione alle caratteristiche dei materiali offerti dal mercato oggi, dare importanza al materiale non solo inteso come decorazione ma principalmente scelto per le sue caratteristiche strutturali e funzionali. Ho voluto interpretare ed adottare strutture impiegate ed utilizzate nell’ambito nautico, sperimentando i limiti del materiale: fino a che punto minimizzando spessori e materiale il prodotto regge e funziona?. L’idea progettuale si basa appunto sulla frase: far resistente e leggero, questo è reso possibile dall’irrigidimento di elementi tesi coesistenti nel prodotto che ne assicurano la resistenza a trazione e compressione. Il mio obiettivo è stato quello di sperimentare nuove forme in cui la quantità del materiale viene ridotta al minimo. L’intero paragrafo potrebbe essere riassunto riproponendo una frase di Renzo Piano: “Bisogna sempre avere l’ansia di sperimentare,togliere il più possibile,finchè non ti casca tutto per terra”
Ai limiti della tensione : un nuovo componente per l'oggetto leggero
