Synopsis
Fifteen years ago while working in New York, I began an investigation that even today I continue doing, about how we relate to other people in the spaces and how the design of these spaces influences our senses and can generate specific behaviours of its users.
Most of us arrive daily to our educational institutions or to our workplaces, and never realize the impact they have on our behaviours: the space, the materials, the lighting, the colours, or the disposition of furniture and how these factors influence our ability to relate to others while we learn or are more productive.

Synopsis
In recent years, research in various areas of human knowledge has allowed great advances in the development of new proposals and technological applications. In the field of design and construction of projects, these advances have been gradual and there are still major challenges globally to achieve comprehensive design solutions available to all.
As a result of the advance of research on new technologies for the development of projects, it is important for us architects to know and consider the tools and systems that would allow collaborative work, integrated design and the development of sustainable projects.
