To tackle a body of work of this scale, SPACE10 teamed up with architecture theorist Mollie Claypool and design firm Pentagram. How can the digital aid in the creation of new spatial models that are more equitable or inclusive? How have digital design and digital fabrication innovated not only designing and making, but also how we experience the built environment? Are digital tools mere methods that can solve technical problems, or can we extrapolate their potential to change the way we design, build and inhabit our world for a more sustainable future? These are just a few of the questions guiding the creation of this report. In this context, the increasing proliferation and promise of digital technologies are huge opportunities to shift our shared understandings of the world from an architectural perspective.
‘Interactivity and connectivity to virtual data and digital information will be stronger than ever before.’ ‘In the future, digital tools will come… closer to our human bodies, enabling us to more conveniently access and utilise digital information in our daily lives,’ says architect and designer Soomeen Hahm. This fundamental shift is not lost on the architecture industry.
