"As Stephen Hawking stated, humanity's greatest achievements have been obtained in encounters, and its greatest failures in non-encounters or, worse, in clashes. Today, this is more true than ever, and it is necessary and urgent to foster the birth of collaborations because we have enormous potential in terms of expertise and technology to be used, especially for the sake of Life."
"Architecture, through the creation of pleasant, reassuring, and stimulating environments and a conscious distribution of functions, is a tool to make human contact and the consequent transfer of knowledge more accessible and immediate."
Human achievements emerge from encounters while failures often result from non-encounters or clashes. Urgent efforts to foster collaborations can mobilize existing expertise and technology for the sake of life. Architecture can enable those collaborations by creating pleasant, reassuring, and stimulating environments and by consciously distributing functions to support interaction. Thoughtful spatial and office design reduces barriers to human contact and accelerates the transfer of knowledge. Strategic design choices therefore act as practical instruments to catalyze interdisciplinary exchange, cooperative innovation, and collaborative problem solving aimed at addressing complex societal and environmental challenges.
