Featured Image Takeaway Design Strategy:
While certain elements of this featured design by Carlo Scarpa are quite beautiful in terms of color, light, texture and harmonizing the old with the new, there are times where a magnificent design can be reduced in its impact. Within the image above notice the two wall lights that have been placed as afterthoughts (most likely added on later to this design due to building codes). Use technology to enhance your designs, not merely to fill in where it isn’t keeping up.
To Apply This Strategy, Ask Yourself:
HOW CAN I USE TECHNOLOGY TO REINFORCE MY DESIGN’S DETAILS AND EFFECTS UPON OCCUPANTS? HOW CAN I INCORPORATE IT FROM THE BEGINNING, INSTEAD OF IT BEING ADDED-ON BY DEFAULT LATER IN THE DESIGN PROCESS?
