Abstract

La moda occupa un posto importante nella società odierna non solo per la produzione di indumenti e del loro impatto a fine vita, ma anche per le dinamiche economiche, culturali e sociali che determina. La progettazione modulare è una strategia utile per creare sistemi complessi a partire da moduli configurabili, separabili e adattabili che può influenzare la sostenibilità. Attraverso la revisione della letteratura scientifica integrata con lo studio di casi provenienti dal mondo professionale, il contributo presenta una categorizzazione delle attuali implementazioni del design di moda modulare, evidenziandone l’architettura di sistema e descrivendo opportunità e limiti in termini di sostenibilità ambientale, economica, culturale e sociale. Dall’analisi emerge la necessità di un approfondimento multidisciplinare del tema attraverso lo studio di nuovi modelli di business e tecnologie dell’Industria 4.0 tramite un approccio guidato dal design che si occupi della progettazione di prodotti e servizi ma anche dei comportamenti di consumo.
