Technological design and social innovation
02 Pubblicazione su volume
The Architectural Technology has always proposed a correct approach to design,
considered as the core of the building process, by identifying appropriate tools in order
to manage its complexity. Such tools are even more valid today in the perspective of a
new social demand and a transition of the building sector to Industry 4.0. However, this
is jeopardised by the budget cuts in welfare and the University: professional degrees
and industrial doctorates are not enough. It is therefore more often necessary to refer to
a technological design culture based on the responsibility of the designer and on the
relationship he/she establishes with the social context, the clients and the company.
