Starting from the design research experience developed in the 30s in Italy*, by a group of young architects including Franco Albini on the theme of living as a pretext, the 2021 Integrated Design Workshops intend to investigate, through design and laboratory activities, a new dimension of the inhabited space focused on the theme of the room.
The room as a unit of space of the private microcosm of man in duality with the macrocosm of the external world which, thanks to new technologies, enters our private space every day and redesigns our new public image. Starting from the incessant and irreversible evolution of our habits of life in which our priorities are also constantly questioned, the workshops intend to investigate and find answers to the new functional and emotional needs of man. Territories, places and local spaces will be the subject of design experiments.
