In design staticity does not exist: every element communicates through frequencies echoing inside the space. Regulating the sound and light, they enter in relationship with the natural environment and with the human being, up to influencing the very way we live every environment.
It’s for this very fine line between perceived and the imperceptible opens the new Open Air Culture edition – PraticMag, Pratic’s edit magazine that this year has chosen to dedicate its issue to the frequencies’ charming theme.
The magazine enters thorough acoustic landscapes, climatic cities, spaces promoting concentration and wellbeing, but also environment capable of modulating privacy and an opening on the world. The design becomes thus a tool to harmonize experiences, emotions and behaviours.
To emerge is a project vision increasingly more sensitive and relational, that transpires from the conversations held in this sixth edition too. Carlo Ratti’s reflections on architecture as a open and adaptive system, Fantoni’s research on acoustic comfort, to Rita Menardi’s material sensibility and Vitra’s new idea of privacy and sharing: each contribute returns the same desire to ameliorate the relationship between individual, environment and project.
Different frequencies that, when in harmony, offer a deeper insight into the potential of architectural and outdoor spaces.
