Building as Interface: Or, What Architects Can Learn from Interaction Designers

摘要

Walter Aprile and Stefano Mirti have been engaged as designers, researchers and teachers at Interaction-Ivrea, a technological research institute in northern Italy, since it was established by Telecom Italia and Olivetti in 2001. Here, the two reflect on the series of experiments they have undertaken at the intersection of interactive technology and architecture, analysing their own working systems and the means by which they have chosen to pursue interdisciplinary dialogue.
