Digital Living Design Competition
Digital Living Design for the functional continuity of high rise apartment buildings in an age of technological innovation.
Clearly, digital technologies are having significant influence to human lives more and more. It means that design of built environments for digital living cannot ignore digital technology, and simultaneously, existing built environments will face requests for increased technology. However, with respect to the importance of digital living design, designing built environments should not be reduced to technical issues. Designs are related to various matters such as demographic, economic, cultural, social and environmental conditions in localized situations. In this respect, digital living design of housing and space should reflect these matters.
The competition presents students of architecture, interior design, urban planning, landscape architecture, industrial design, environmental psychology, IT, communications, etc., the opportunity to shift their design emphasis from architectures which incorporate available technology to intelligent architectures which re-engineer environment-behaviour footprints on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of built environments surrounded by various challenges.
