Advancedesign in the reconfiguration of relationships between companies

Abstract

This paper intends to lay the investigative basis on the elements that contribute to design, in terms of conditions and practices useful in encouraging continuous innovation, in the field of Lighting Design. Advance Lighting Design (ALD) and its vision are presented as a multidisciplinary approach, which should not be understood within the limitations of a pluridisciplinary approach, that simply combines different skills, mainly for the purpose of comparison, but rather employs interdisciplinary methodologies that, through mixing different types of knowledge, try to extract a new epistemology. The paper provides also case histories that exemplify ALD experiences.
