| Title |
A Study on Hybrid Living Space in Digital Architecture |
| Abstract |
Changing demographics, changing lifestyles. An international group of architects designs the homes of the future in places as diverse as USA, Japan, South America and Europe. These architects are also challenging the traditional structure of the private house, as we know it. Many of these architects are reinterpreting the private house, challenging traditional notions of what makes a house.
Here, the interior and exterior surfaces are transformed into 'smart skins', which blur the distinction between the digital and the real and become a part of the daily life of the occupants.
The smart house will make possible amazing things we thought existed only in science fiction, guarding our welfare, guessing our moods and catering to our demands in music, movies, temperature and ambience. And new materials will further transform our living areas. |
