Responsive Environments: architecture, art and design (V&A Contemporaries)

By Lucy Bullivant

Now in a new larger format, the latest title in the V&A Contemporary series explores the use of interactive design in our environment featuring examples from CCTV to I-pods and lighting. Spaces that interact with the people who use them and pass through them now surround us in our living and working environments. The responsive projects featured in the book engage with our wishes and bodily sensations and bring together new furniture, product design and architectural design. Drawing on interviews with designers and architects, it reveals the challenge of integrating emerging technologies with existing materials and methods.
