Climate change is happening now: temperatures are rising, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers are melting and the global average sea level is rising. Everyone seems to know about it, but unfortunately most of this common knowledge is based on misinformation rather than on scientific facts. The truth is that it is actually very difficult to

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that affects about 2% of the population. The prevalence of AF increases with age, from 0.5% at 40–50 years, to 5–15% at 80 years. AF is associated with increased rates of death, stroke, heart failure and hospitalizations as well as degraded quality of life, reduced exercise capacity,
NRGWaste is a micro scale, turnkey, self-contained system for the treatment of unrecoverable waste at the point of arising, based on high temperature plasma pyrolysis and on downsized waste pre-treatment technology (metal extraction, shredding, pelletisation). The core of the micro treatment prototype is based on the downsizing of the technology used in large waste to
People shop online, book hotels and flights online. This happens because the data needed to complete these tasks are easily accessible and a lot of websites allows users to query the Web to obtain enough information to be confident. This project aims to propose a framework tailored to extend the internet revolution to public administrations.

The SMAPS project is based on the idea that the smart development of cities should be connected to the design of the interaction between their traditional physical structure and the new digital informational infrastructure. This interaction can be primarily built through the introduction of new “smart” service ideas and solutions for the emerging needs of

Between 1950s and 1970s, Milan and Turin experienced an impressive growth in housing production. A consistent part of this building boom was made up of condominiums that aimed at meeting the cultural and spatial needs of an emerging middle class. Such factors, together with economic and regulatory aspects, deeply influenced the formal, typological and technological
sMAIN is a project completely focused on innovation and product development. It originates from a collaboration between Alta Scuola Politecnica and Electrolux Company and the main goal was to conceive a completely new product to be used in households, in particular in the kitchen area. During the two years of our group work on this
