Overview

The digital revolution has introduced new technologies, but also new ways of living, different behaviors and new timeframes. This necessitates a fundamental re-evaluation of space design, not only from a functional and typological perspective but also from a perceptual and emotional one. In these ever-changing scenarios, designers and planners must be able to both leverage new technologies and apply sensory paradigms.
