“We are trying to use design promote social encounters - between different people, cultures and social groups,” says Carlo Ratti, founding partner of CRA and director of the Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: “This is what is unique about physical as opposed to digital space, something which the pandemic made us all too aware of. We can use architecture to bridge across different social worlds.”
CRA has filed building permits to the local municipal authority.
