SENSEABLE Cities and Digitally Augmented Buildings
Emma Greer, Partner, Carlo Ratti Associates
As the internet reshapes physical space (traditionally the domain of architecture and design), we can leverage IoT technologies to develop digitally-augmented buildings that can adapt in real time to users’ needs. For workers, this means an unprecedented degree of personalization and customization of their office experience. But where does this ultimately lead? Emma addresses the evolution of traditional workspace and offers a glimpse into the ‘office of the future’ and new ways of working. She showcases transformation through a new case Study of Carlo Ratti Associati’s transformation of the Agnelli Foundation’s 20th–century building in Turin, Italy into an innovative office modelled after implementation of IoT.
