DesignBetween borderlines and multiple personality
disorders

![Page 2: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Last month, I was invited to this Design Festival in Zagreb….
![Page 3: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Design Borderline was the topic of the D Day festival.
Aim of the festival is to question and focus on the topics that are on the edge of the design
practice, and more generally on the intersection of design with other disciplines…
(this was the first question I had to answer)
![Page 4: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“borderline” as a keyword is rather appropriate.
If we check in the dictionary, we get into a quite fabulous world.
Borderline, as a noun:
1. A line that establishes or marks a border.2. An indefinite area intermediate between
two qualities or conditions:
The borderline between love and hate is often thin.
![Page 5: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Even more interesting if we get into borderline as an adjective:
1.a. Verging on a given quality or condition: borderline poverty.
1.b. Of a questionable nature or quality: an applicant with borderline qualifications.
![Page 6: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2.a. Psychology.
Relating to any phenomenon that is intermediatebetween two groups and not clearly categorized
in either group:
a borderline state showing the characteristics of both neurotic and psychotic reactions.
![Page 7: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2.b. Relating to a condition characterized by a pattern of instability in mood,
interpersonal relations, and self-image, and manifested by self-destructive,
impulsive, and inconsistent behavior:
the borderline syndrome.
![Page 8: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Finally,I think that the final paragraphsare the ones really meaningful and promising:
“a borderline state showing the characteristics of both neurotic and psychotic reactions”.
![Page 9: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Of course, if we get into the borderline syndrome, we are right in the spot. Wikipedia starts its
explanation like this:
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) (called emotionally unstable personality disorder,
emotional intensity disorder, or borderline type in the ICD-10) is a cluster-B personality disorder, the
essential feature of which is a pattern of marked impulsivity and instability of affects, interpersonal
relationships and self image.
The pattern is present by early adulthood and occurs across a variety of situations and contexts.
![Page 10: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Let’s say that because design lives in a borderline condition, designers are lead to have a multiple personality disorder.
Here I am, with my multiple personalities and their various disorders.
We can proceed on with the lecture...
![Page 11: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
then, there was a second question:
In the context of your own work,how can you relate to this topic,
given that your are experimentingand operating in within different
disciplines,from architecture
to new media to design education etc.?
![Page 12: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is exactly the point.To be a designer in the contemporary
world, you have to carry multiple personalities.
Without this (special and burdensome) feature, it is very difficult to survive the borderline conditions of today’s world.
![Page 13: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
...I am so many things at once.
![Page 14: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I am an architect, but I am also a teacher.To design I have to be an entrepreneur,
but from time to time I get a salary from some real and/or fictional entities.
I write an article, sometimes I write a book.
One day I organize a community,and the following day I am at work for some
evil corporation.Indeed, never a boring moment.
![Page 15: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In the morning a story-teller,in the afternoon an expert on social media,
in the evening research,and finally,
i spend the night drowning in my hobbies(of course, the most important part of my life…).
Actually,we can see some of this role I have to play...
![Page 16: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
sometimes, I am an architect.this is what is studied for...
![Page 17: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
here for instance,an image of the Biodiversity Park for
Expo 2015
![Page 18: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
here another image.
just because we like the project very much!
![Page 19: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
here you have the desgin theam: a lot of people.too long to list them all.
i am one of many….
![Page 20: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
here a traditional axonometric view of the whole thing.
eight greenhouses + a lot of assorted greeneries...
![Page 21: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
not to forget the interiors...
![Page 22: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
as well as all kind of different details...
![Page 23: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
sometimes I am a teacher, a traditional teacher
here the link to the things I do at Bocconi University…and here another link: “To the final test with post and tweets”
![Page 24: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
sometimes, my teaching becomes more experimental.
here for instance, the link to “For Your Community” workshoporganized for Alta Scuola Politecnica (Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino).
![Page 25: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
sometimes, I teach.some other times, I learn...
![Page 26: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
sometimes, I have to decide which way to go.
finally, I learned that the important thing is to decide quick.
not so relevant what you decide.just decide, go for it,
keep calm and carry on...
![Page 33: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
sometimes, to teach better,I have to transform myself into a puppet…
You don’t believe me? Look at this “Design 101”
![Page 34: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
the puppet game, this I like very much.I can even become an elegant lady...
![Page 35: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
sometimes (actually,every day, once per day),I collect the sky.
If you want to see the collection,you go to my Instagram account,or you use the #todaysky hashtag.
![Page 36: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
this project where every day I take one picture of the sky,
I like it so much that here you have another picture.
#todaysky

sometimes I build things with my hands(well, this is just an idea of what we wanted to build)
![Page 41: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

sometimes, I invent new schools…
here for instance, Relational Design master degree program, a project developed with Lucia Giuliano and Abadir Fine Art Academy.
![Page 47: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
sometimes I invent stories…
here you have a couple of images of my #littlepeople series.
like #todaysky series,you can find them all at my Instagram account
![Page 48: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

basically, it is a love story, a very sad love story.as much as he tries, he will never get her…
every time, one image and one caption:
in trieste they went,here, finally, i could kiss him (this is what she thought).but unfortunately, he didn’t ask.#poignant
![Page 53: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
sometimes I do things, I can’t share in public.
they are nice and fun,but I am too shy.
sorry sorry...
![Page 54: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
sometimes, I play…
actually, I spend a lot of time playing.if I was to count the amount of time I play,you would be amazed (I am amazed).
![Page 55: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
sometimes I play so much,that I get special recognition.
for instance,in 2001, I was the world champion ofNokia’s snake.
do you remember?
yes, that….
![Page 56: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
sometimes I am a social media manager.

![Page 57: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
sometimes, I am an authority.(very odd feeling).
![Page 58: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
sometimes (actually, most of the time), I keep a diary.for instance, check this MolDor Diary
![Page 59: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
sometimes I draw...

![Page 71: Design. Between borderlines and multiple personality disorders](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c7c80c4a7959e1188b45b8/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
