Abstract

On 20 July 1969, the whole world was facing the Moon. It seemed impossible that the Apollo 11 could bring human beings to our satellite and bring them back safely. The landing happened in the evening, I remember it because I was at the sea in Liguria, the sky was clear, and I was very curious to see the astronauts touch the lunar ground. To the naked eye. That’s right. I was 4 years old, and I was sure that going out in the garden and sitting comfortably in my small chair I would see them, Armstrong and Aldrin, walking and running on the surface of white iridescent dust. And there they were, I only saw shadows, but I was sure I saw them. I was very excited and very happy. Of a deep happiness that I still remember. This episode was the beginning of my attraction to the cosmos and the stars.

The Space4InspirAction (S4I) Course, this year at its 4th edition—created and led by Annalisa Dominoni and Benedetto Quaquaro from 2017 inside the Master of Science in Integrated Product Design, School of Design, Politecnico di Milano—is the first and unique academic Course of Space Design in the world recognized and supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) through experts and scientists who suggest and then deepen the project themes, in line with the objectives of the all space agencies’ strategic programs, with the aim to generate disruptive ideas and visions to increase the well-being of living in Space through Design approaches, methodologies and thinking.

Moony—a whole modular base located under the lunar surface, in the natural tunnels of volcanic origin called lava tubes—was designed by Irene Zaccara and Emilia Rosselli Del Turco under the supervision of the professors Annalisa Dominoni and Benedetto Quaquaro, experts in Architecture and Design for Space, at the Design School of the Politecnico di Milano. The project is part of Igluna Esa_Lab@ program supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) and coordinated by the Swiss Space Center.

Even if it is inappropriate, a literal translation of “di design” in English should be “of design” that means an object made in Italy, which belongs to the Italian design style, an object beautiful and well done.

The Space scientific community uses the term countermeasures to describe all the devices, facilities, physical exercises, medications, drugs, procedures and other strategies that support and help astronauts healthy and productive during human space flights, with the aim to counteract the negative effects due principally to the microgravity.

While I’m writing this book, we’re leading the 4th edition 2020 of our Course of Space Design Space4InspirAction in distance learning for the Covid-19.

Fashion in Orbit is the first Higher Education Course in Space Fashion and Technology created and directed by Annalisa Dominoni and Benedetto Quaquaro at POLI.design (the Consortium of Politecnico di Milano) as consequence of the success of Couture in Orbit project and supported by the European Space Agency (ESA). Couture in Orbit and Fashion in Orbit are presented as case studies in chapter 4 of this book Space Design Between Research, Project and Education.

Co-owner of the design studio (a + b) Dominoni, Quaquaro, founded in 2011 in Milan by Annalisa Dominoni and Benedetto Quaquaro with the aim of contaminating research and technological innovation with poetry. Among their latest projects, in addition to a feasibility study of Preliminary Design Solutions for the Support to New Orbital Infrastructure Recreational/Habitable Configuration of a new space station for Thales Alenia Space, there are the Leonardo trains of the Milan Metro for ATM, produced by Hitachi Rail, and the Space Acoustic Object for Caimi Brevetti, both selected by ADI Design Index.

The patented Snowsound Fibre technology by the design company Caimi Brevetti is based on soft interwoven polyester acoustic fibres that are inherently fire-resistant. The interaction between the special acoustic fibres and the design of the object and the support system helps reduce annoying acoustic reverberation in rooms, while improving quality of both life and work.

We named Pinna this S pace Acoustic Object because of its shape: a large three-dimensional fan that resembles the fin of a fish.
