BRIEF
Fluidity. This seems to be the fundamental and most inescapable principle of life and contemporary design.

In the digital age, the outcomes and transformations of time are not yet fully decipherable, and the only certainty is that everything changes and evolves at its own pace compared to the past.

Today more than ever, life is about dynamism, change, searching for consecutive and precarious balance points, and architecture as a physical space is no exception to these rules.

Workspaces are no longer bound to a place and a location. They are contexts of relationship, exchange and discussion. Housing is no longer intended as a life project, but as a consumer good, and it is even better if it can be used over a short amount of time and without constraints. In turn, the spaces of culture take on an ephemeral dimension, as culture is increasingly affected by events, installations and temporary exhibitions.

What then is the role of architecture in the 4.0 era?
