The thesis is part of the TANGO / AH-Design project funded by the Culture Programme of the European Union-Education and Culture DG, aiming to explore the issue of social inclusion and in particular the intergenerational dialogue, proposing innovative solutions. The project partners are the Aalto University, Helsinki (Finland), the Ecole de Design Nantes Atlantique, Nantes (France) and the Politecnico di Milano, Milan (Italy).

Its structure is essential and wire shaped and results flexible to answer to venues with different features. It is made with locally based elements, simplifying its production and assembly. In this way the TANGO exhibition will be structured avoiding completely the on road transportation, making the contents travel digitally and using the display exhibition system locally produced.

La tesi fa parte del progetto TANGO / AH-Design finanziato dal Culture Programme of European Union-Education and Culture DG, volto ad esplorare il problema dell’inclusione sociale ed in particolare del dialogo intergenerazionale, proponendo soluzioni innovative. I partner del progetto sono Aalto University Helsinki (Finlandia), L’ècole de Design Nantes Atlantique Nantes (Francia) e Politecnico di Milano Milano (Italia). Altro obiettivo del progetto TANGO è quello di progettare una esposizione itinerante a basso impatto ambientale e accessibile, in una logica open source e copyleft. Proprio in relazione a quest’ultimo obiettivo la tesi intende offrire un contributo progettuale per il sistema di allestimenti con il quale verranno esposti i contenuti oggetto della mostra che si terrà a Milano nell’aprile 2013, durante il Salone del mobile. Il brief della tesi e del progetto Tango si è evoluto durante la ricerca progettuale definendosi infine come segue: “progettare un sistema espositivo altamente flessibile e durevole, che venga inizialmente utilizzato per la mostra TANGO e che poi vada a sostituire quei sistemi espositivi ambientalmente meno sostenibili utilizzati dalle tre università coinvolte”. Il processo progettuale coordinato dall’unità DIS (Design and Innovation for Sustainability) del dipartimento di ricerca INDACO Politecnico di Milano ha attivato la collaborazione con il laboratorio allestimenti.. Il processo progettuale è stato sviluppato seguendo il metodo MPDS (Method for Product Design and Sustainability) valutando in una prima fase di analisi strategica, l’impatto ambientale del sistema espositivo attualmente in uso dal Politecnico di Milano (usando strumenti di LCA). In una fase di esplorazione delle opportunità sono stati coinvolti gli studenti del corso “Design per la sostenibilità ambientale” tenuto dal prof. Carlo Vezzoli, parte della laurea triennale in Design del prodotto industriale del Politecnico di Milano. I risultati ottenuti sono stato dei Abstract 197 tentative concept che sono stati valutati in termini ambientali dagli studenti del corso. I risultati di questa prima fase sono stati il punto di partenza per la fase di progettazione del concept vero e proprio. Partendo dai tentative concepts più promettenti, è iniziata la progettazione del nuovo sistema espositivo, così caratterizzato: X-RAIL è eternamente durevole e adattabile alle diverse tipologie di contenuti esposti, dai poster, alle proiezioni video fino ai modelli di studio. La sua struttura, essenziale e filiforme, risulta adattabile a spazi espositivi con caratteristiche differenti. E’ realizzata con componenti prodotti prevalentemente in loco, facilitandone la produzione e l’assemblaggio. In questo modo la mostra TANGO verrà strutturata evitando completamente il trasporto su strada, facendo viaggiare i contenuti in forma digitale ed utilizzando i sistemi espositivi prodotti localmente. I componenti utilizzati inoltre hanno caratteristiche di elevata riciclabilità evitando gli scarti e rifiuti. Le prospettive per questo progetto consistono in una sua finale ingegnerizzazione e una successiva produzione. Il sistema espositivo verrà testato per la prima volta nella mostra TANGO a Milano.
