solidThinking User Emilio Cassani interviewed by Architosh

Architosh, the internet magazine dedicated to Mac CAD and 3D professionals, recently interviewed Emilio Cassani, a long time solidThinking User who works exclusively on the Mac, developing creative and attractive solutions to various design problems in industry.

Talking of the Handle, an award winning electric guitar, he says: “The Handle is a perfect example of what can be done with solidThinking: look at the fluidity of its contours and surfaces. This 3D model is completely history-based and can be modified at any time by implementing new components. That is the strength in solidThinking.”

solidThinking User Emanuele Rodella receives a “Design and Build for Everyone” 2009 Award

Emanuele Rodella and Paolo De Lucchi won one of the six awards of the International Competition of Ideas entitled ‘Design and Build for Everyone’, an initiative – promoted by the  no-profit association “Lo Spirito di Stella” in partnership with Autogrill S.p.A., ADI (Associazione per il Disegno Industriale) and DFA (Design for All).

Architects and designers were invited to submit solutions for specific areas in Autogrill points of sale (counter, check out and toilets) in order to enhance comfort and functionality without sacrificing those elements of design vital to the elimination of psychological barriers between disabled and non-disabled people.

The competition grew out of the personal experience of Andrea Stella, a disabled yachtsman who designed the world’s first catamaran without architectural barriers – the ‘Spirito di Stella’.

Congratulations to Emanuele Rodella and Paolo De Lucchi. We show here some renderings of their awarded project, which was entirely developed in solidThinking.
