The Future Home for New Ways of Living And Sharing Community in Emergent Smart City. (Towards a “Good, Healthy and Sustainable Life” between Micro and Macro, Human-Technology and Sense Making) / L.

Abstract:
This is the question from which to start the narration that leads us to reflect on what the city (macro-object) is
(and where it goes) today, starting from the house (micro-object) and living (meso-dimension) in their recent and
older transformations between: technology and society, environment and media, design and planning, living and
use. Here we will try to conduct some short notes trying to highlight the junction points, by looking at the techno-
social fault breaks between the industrial (and pre-industrial) and post-industrial global ages. A complex process
that leads the house to evolve into the home and to be a structure, then a function (exclusive) and today perhaps a
complex and articulated social form susceptible to sharing. A projection that is guiding us towards the
transformations of smart cities and those emerging networks of new digital artisans in the fab-labs and clusters of
urban makers who reconstruct the 16th century workshop-houses while being connected in dense social networks
hybridized by co-working and co-housing oriented towards the co-generation of widespread creativity. We are
infront of a jump of a paradigm in the sense proposed by RenèThom some decades ago.
The 21st century gives us a paradigm shift as a "fault break" not so much in the technical-structural aspects as
digital emerging world in the strict sense, but of the context frame in which the "house" first and then "dwelling"
were consolidated daughters of a design rationalism and planning that had removed places, traditions,
historicity, as well as a balanced relationship with nature and technology and which had turned away from the
meaning of urban space and common or shared goods, under the banner of the imperatives of the production of
mass and therefore of the houses-dwellings "of the masses". The current society of customization and
personalization (albeit mass) of building artefacts (and their contexts) as well as other goods takes us towards a
new (post) modernity which is represented by the globalized society where, moreover, urban, extra-urban and
post-urban come to fusion and often to con-fusion. Therefore, living as a symbol of well-beingis probably on the
decline because the One Best Way of the "home for all" model is abandoned and therefore of the model of the
uniform house and the best way to build it at the lowest cost coupled with the "claims of the right to home".
Mythologies, mystics, and stories that have accompanied us so far seem to decline in favor of a "global"
rethinking of the new models of living, deriving from new relationships with wealth and savings, strongly tested
by the epochal crisis that we are perhaps overcoming. The new relationships with the environment must lead us to
associate lower energy costs, passive houses and new services (individual and collective) such as social housing
towards superior livability and well-being without adjectives. Furthermore, from the relationships with the
emerging technologies of materials, from heavy to light, from energy consuming to energy saving up to intelligent
energy, from the immobility to the mobility of the modules of the house itself that can be completely rebuilt,
recycled or even transported, or made in 3D by re-coupling small and medium batches with customizational so
through advanced technological-connective equipment (Wi-Fi, home automation) also to answer security and / or
interaction questions. However, returning to the use of ancient materials such as lime or straw as well as photo-
sensitive and/or energy-efficient colors. Finally, touching new social relationships between "residents" in search
of multiple areas of socialization (of costs) and above all of hospitality and sociability for a full sharing of living
