Digital Technologies and the production of inhabitated spaces in the Anthropocene

The rise of ITC technologies identifies an epochal innovation, which has not found yet a shared cultural positioning, due to the dimensions and the speed of the change. The value of innovation is not only for its technological content, but also for its impact on the inhabited space (housing, building, city) and on the lifestyles, so that it is ever more urgent to make such cultural change correspondent with new design approaches, able at integrating thee existing project methodologies with the emerging ICT processes and tools. The paper aims to describe the current change through a brief review of research and events, with the purpose of identifying the essential supporting elements and to hinge them within the technological culture of architecture.
