Abstract:
What makes an environment “responsive”? This book provides some key concepts in the form of a design manifesto. Critically articulated from the perspective of leading experts, scholars, and professionals, the ideas explored are unpacked through speculative urban visions and design projects at different timeframes, contexts, and scales ranging from interactive artifacts to augmented cities. Drawing from multiyear research at the REAL Lab at Harvard GSD and design work by INVIVIA and other innovative practices, the book unfolds the experiential facets of our technologically-mediated relationship with space in the fields of architecture and urbanism, design, and art.
