Tomorrow Living

Four episodes on the future of living

Comprised of four chapters - Restorative, Responsive, Resilient and Responsible - the Tomorrow Living series investigates how we can truly optimize our life at home using technology, making it adaptable to the inevitable environmental, social and political changes global society faces this century. To get a truly holistic perspective on the future of domestic space, Thiemann and Huawei’s Milan Aesthetic Research Centre enlisted the expertise of some of the world’s most influential designers, architects, artists and scientists. The Tomorrow Living interviews reveal the myriad ways that spaces for living can be conceived to be more restorative, responsive, resilient and responsible, effectively becoming more sustainable for people and the planet in our emerging mixed reality. They critically examine the role that intelligent technology can play as an enabler for this, a tool to help us reconnect with nature, empower communities and contribute to domestic environments.
