AD : STAYING INDOORS SAFE IN THIS PANDEMIC MADE US CONNECT WITH OUR HOMES MORE THAN EVER . HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR PROCESS TO DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT TRANSFORMS THE LIVING OF THE RESIDENT ?
ARIANNA & CHIARA :
This ‘ era of uncontact ’ could mean a big change in terms of accessibility , especially for public spaces . We have all to deal with it , the designers first and also the clients . The challenge is to try to keep it as much human as we can . We should not forget that all this will be transitional and we will be back to a new normality in some times .
That doesn ’ t mean we will be not carrying any consequences . From a more personal prospective we think the « uncontact » approach could involve heavily our way to use object or to share them . Home and everything is connected with private spaces will been seen under a different light , it will be considered more a shelter , and we all put more attention on our homes and in general to our private .
