The Home in the Digital Age

Abstract

The passage from the mechanization era to the digital era is a critical step of our contemporary history. As technology changes so do society, economy, policy, environment and the practice of architecture and design. The Home in the Digital Age is a book that has courageously undertaken the challenge of exploring the impact of digital technologies within a specific and complex contest: the domestic space. In line with the multiplicity of factors involved, the book is a “collective” of contributions, working together in a very organic way. Indeed, the book acts as a sort of symbiotic system combined to explore, through different disciplines and studies, what has hitherto been mistakenly considered a marginal field. The home is not just a space, or a shelter, it is about something strictly referring to people’s lives and consequently to our world D O I: 10 .1 08 0/ 17 40 63 15 .2 02 2. 21 33 88 6 HOME CULTURES VOLUME 19, ISSUE 2 PP 159–164 REPRINTS AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM THE PUBLISHERS PHOTOCOPYING PERMITTED BY LICENSE ONLY © 2022 INFORMA UK LIMITED, TRADING AS TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP.
