tech, including virtual and augmented reality
and artificial intelligence.
Research from IHS Markit forecasts 30
billion connected devices by 2020 and 75
billion by 2025. And Gartner predicts that
by 2020, artificial intelligence technologies
will be virtually universal in new software
products and services.
"3D printers and [computer numerical
control] tools are fairly commonplace
now; what seems to be missing is the
interface that allows a designer to easily
customize common materials with simple
tools," Holt says.
The increasingly virtual world has
designers looking for ways to ground users in
a stronger sense of place. "With the advent
of so much technology, even architecture
and design itself seems as if it has moved
away from really considering the human
experience," says Denise Cherry, principal,
Assembly Design Studio, San Francisco.
"Thoughtful detailing and scale, spaces that
you want to touch and feel-these become
the things that draw you in somewhere."
Representing one possible future is
the lobby of the Warsaw Spire building
in Warsaw, Poland, designed by Massive
Design. Stopa and his team created largescale prefabricated forms to transform the
reception area, from the walls and ceiling
to the elevator-door frames and signage.
"Organic forms and three-dimensionality are
the main language of expression, an approach
which helped to create a unique lobby with a
futuristic vibe," he says. The elements were
made from glass-reinforced gypsum, which is
commonly used for traditional architectural elements. In the
Spire, however, the material was used to create the swooping
curves of computer-modeled parametric design. "By using
today's sophisticated design tools and technology, you can
create distinctive objects that support the company brand,"
he says.
Yet still, with so many groundbreaking resources at the
fingertips of designers, the key to implementing the next
iteration of interior design is making the tools of the future
more accessible. "When the technology gets simple and
commonplace enough that we can customize more mundane
things like carpet patterns, task light shades, and door
levers from our desktops without costing too much more
than an off-the-shelf version, then we'll be really be getting
somewhere," Holt says. n
