betanit.com at the International Research Seminar at Politecnico di Milano to discuss about which is the possible role of ICT tools and techniques in supporting a comprehensive and complex design process?

Observation is a crucial step for developing urban design proposals. In fact, the visual component is often the sense that drives the design process. How to improve a conscious multi-sensory understanding of urban places? How to catch, interpret and communicate other sensory aspects beyond the visual one? How to depict and simulate present and future scenarios in a multi-sensory way? Which is the possible role of ICT tools and techniques in supporting a comprehensive and complex design process?

We will present a contribute entitled: betanit.com, optical devices design + manufacturing: digital projections, artificial skies, solar simulators.
