The era of digitalisation is bringing about radical changes. We are
surrounded by objects which are causing our relationship with the world
around us to become increasingly intangible and virtual. Even the work
of the designer is changing: coupled with the traditional principles of
aesthetics and practicality, concepts such as communication, multimedia,
virtuality are now important tools of the trade. Today‘s designers are
confronted with a variety of complex demands and the computer offers an
extremely flexible and creative way of meeting them.
This book examines the many developments and changes which the digital
age has effected in the field of design.
The authors are italian architects, professors and writers active in this field since the 1970s.
