This paper deals with the construction of a possible architectural project in four dimensions. It is part of a research on the design theory and related analysis of the compositional process, and on the changing of paradigms in Architecture. To demonstrate the hypothesis of the real consistency of a new 4d spatiality for the Architecture, the design process has been analyzed in form of a theorem, starting from the comparison between the elements of the project and the definitions of the referred geometry, acquired from the study of the mathematical treatises on the fourth dimension.

Conceptually, we could group such chapters into three macro groups: 1) Problem definition (chap. 1-7): the starting point is the analysis of the productivity of the construction sector, which is closely linked to a lack of technology. It shows that the slow acquisition of digital management methodologies is one of the elements that makes the sector considerably less innovative and productive than others. At the end of this section (chap. 7) is presented the disruptive innovation of BIM, intended as a necessary starting point for the application of artificial intelligence techniques.
