Abstract: Il testo indaga le piu recenti trasformazioni dello spazio urbano nelle quali le nuove tecnologie e lo storytelling sono alla base di una ritrovata interazione tra la citta e i suoi abitanti. Le tecnologie digitali svolgono un ruolo primario nel plasmare l’identita degli spazi e nell’ampliare la dimensione percettiva. Si parla sempre di piu di ‘spazi ibridi’ all’interno dei quali la contaminazione tra arredi intelligenti ( internet of things ) e tecnologie puo favorire nuove forme di interazione che consentano a chiunque di personalizzare il proprio approccio alla citta. Le molteplici chiavi di lettura generate dallo storytelling favoriscono un’adesione personale ai luoghi e al contempo una maggiore facilita di fruizione degli stessi. Design and Narrative.

Digital technologies play a primary role in shaping the identity of spaces and in broadening the perceptive dimension. There is more and more talk of 'hybrid spaces' within which the contamination between smart furniture (internet of things) and technologies can encourage new forms of interaction that allow everyone to customize their own approach to the city. The multiple interpretations generated by storytelling promote a personal adherence to the places and at the same time a greater ease of use of the spaces.

TL;DR: The sound of a relational space is defined by many factors, different in importance about the kind of space, the foreseen function, the temporal duration of its fruition: the scenario is often characterized by complexity as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Il ruolo di uno spazio di relazione e definito da molti fattori di importanza differenziata in base al tipo di spazio, alla funzione prevista, alla durata temporale della fruizione: lo scenario e spesso caratterizzato dalla complessita. Il suono, sempre presente ma allo stesso tempo diversificato, diventa parametro vitale nella comprensione del significato e della qualita dello spazio, esterno o interno, anche perche interagisce direttamente con la percezione del benessere. Suoni imprevisti o inaspettatamente assenti, suoni fastidiosi o piacevoli, suoni caratteristici o estranei, … complice la caratteristica del sistema uditivo umano ci aiutano nella corretta interpretazione dello spazio ancora prima della vista. The sound: a vital sign for relational spaces. Notes for a mindful design. The sound of a relational space is defined by many factors, different in importance about the kind of space, the foreseen function, the temporal duration of its fruition: the scenario is often characterized by complexity. The sound, always present and differentiated, at once, becomes a vital sign for the understanding of the meaning and the quality of the space, external or internal, even because it directly interacts with the perception of wellness. Unforeseen sounds or unexpectedly missing ones, disturbing or pleasant sounds, peculiar or unknown sounds, … with the complicity of the human hearing system, they help in the right understanding of the space, even before the sight.
