8TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON TEMPORAL DESIGN
The International Symposium on Temporal Design, held every two years, is an international forum for researches interested in the Temporal Design Theory. It aims at going beyond the traditional design concepts, primarily concerned with issues of spatial design only, taking into account the temporal dimension of life too. This bring to a better blending of natural activities and human rhythms. To achieve “temporal design” one must approach design problem with knowledge of the “temporal dynamism” of the interactions between human creativity and its effects on the natural environment, and between human activities and built and natural environment. In particular, cultural development may favor a lifestyle pattern that does not attempt to go against the forces of nature. It is invaluable the contribution that this approach can give to architecture, engineering, pedagogy, psychology, and many other disciplines.
The Symposium, organized by the Acoustical Society of Italy in cooperation with the University of Bologna, will take place in Bologna on 14-15 Semptember 2017.
