The talk examines informational patterns on spatial issues.

Its aim is to investigate and develop a framework able to organise and visualise the complexity of the data that deal with high-end technology, the city, architectural design and the construction process in general.

The research follows how advanced technology helps us understand urban and architectural environments — museums in particular — and how geographic information systems shape the way design is approached.

Two elements carry the argument. Scale becomes a crucial tool: an informational medium between the citizens and the space they occupy. And time is a structural element in creating an environment that its inhabitants can sustain.
