39 | DensityDesign w/ Paolo Ciuccarelli

Author: Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner August 6, 2014 Duration: 1:21:45
Hi there! We have been chasing Paolo for a while and eventually we managed to have him on the show. Paolo is Associate Professor at Politecnico di Milano and he is the founder of Density Design, a lab with an interesting mix of research, design and visualization. With Paolo we talk about all things at the intersection of design and visualization, including a very interesting digression on architecture and how it helped him in the development of the lab. We also talk about how to teach design and the role of Visualization in the Humanities. We also talk about Raw, an online visualization tool they developed which has recently gained quite some popularity (if you don't know it you should try it). Enjoy the show! --- Links Cyber-Geography Maps (early inspiration) Density Design Flicker Stream Density Design Blog 99 Models of Design Processes Mapping the Republic of Letters (and this: http://athanasius.stanford.edu/) Franco Moretti's Distant Readings and Giorgio Caviglia (and the “incorporation” of design into humanities) Fineo (Sankey Diagrams Tool)

Enrico Bertini and Moritz Stefaner have a conversation you’re invited to join. Their Data Stories podcast sits at a fascinating crossroads, where the technical craft of data analytics meets the intuitive design of visual representation. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a cafe with two experts who are genuinely curious, unpacking not just the "how" but the "why" behind the ways we see and understand information. You’ll hear them explore the latest tools and research, but also grapple with the deeper questions of narrative, aesthetics, and human perception that give data its true meaning and impact. The discussions are grounded in their professional experiences, making complex ideas in technology and design feel accessible and immediately relevant. It’s a space for anyone who creates, studies, or simply wonders about the charts, maps, and diagrams that shape our world. By weaving together perspectives from arts, education, and visual practice, this podcast reveals how data, when thoughtfully handled, can tell stories that are as compelling as they are informative. Tune in for a consistently thoughtful look at the evolving language of numbers and shapes.
