IntelligentRealities

We realise that we are now seeing the emergence of a new reality in which information technologies further a way of inhabiting a networked world, that requires a new approach to the conception of architecture and cities.
We are now seeing the development of bases for the construction of ‘intelligent realities’ as a result of the interaction of persons, objects and spaces, in which architecture and its associated disciplines can be the integrators of processes and occurrences of this ‘metareality’.

Faced with this new situation, architects cannot merely be passive problem-solvers; they have to accept a new active condition, like that of strategists who ask questions of their surroundings and anticipate lines of action. Whose form of procedure is based not on the application of a profession that is learned and mutually consented, but on innovation in planning processes and the application of the new techniques and materials that they help to develop.

This book has been written in the desire to relate to the multiple disciplines that have anticipated this advanced condition of reality to which we aim to respond from the field of architecture. With ideas and projects.
The scale of the architecture project therefore ranges ‘from bits to geography’. From the software that interacts with places and projects them beyond their physical reality, to the flows and synergies running through the territory and organising the local action of the construction of new inhabited landscapes. An interaction between the natural, the artificial and the digital that draws up new rules for ‘the art of dwelling’.
