Membrana Smart Device: Analytical Characteristics and Application

This contribution aims to illustrate some of the results related to the Membrana smart research project, in collaboration with a partnership of companies operating in the Calabrian territory, funded under the POR CALABRIA FESR-ESF 2014–2020, Axis I “Research and innovation”, Specific objective 1.2 “Strengthening of the regional and national innovative system”, Action 1.2.2 “Support for the realisation of complex research and development projects on a few thematic areas of relief and the application of functional technological solutions to the realisation of the S3 strategies”. This is accomplished by starting from the realisation of a technological device. The authors, after having examined the different implications of membrana smart in everyday life, draw the attention towards the different structural criteria with which this medium/instrument allows the organisation of communication and the enjoyment of the city and the territory, highlighting how its value lies precisely in the type and quality of the relationships it establishes with the surrounding environment; therefore, membrana smart does not present itself as an object in space but, rather, as a tool for the construction of space, as an element for the staging of a city and a territory of which it is a part.
