Designing for presence in a digital age

Danish Architecture Center – DAC
About this episode

Has presence become a luxury in the digital age? And do we lose contact with the world around us when so much of our lives unfold in front of a screen? 

In this episode of Let's Talk Architecture host Michael Booth meets Nikoline Dyrup, architect and founding partner of Danish architecture and design studio, Spacon. Together they visit the studio's newly opened exhibition at DAC, Meet Me Here, for a conversation about how design and architecture can shape the ways we connect. 

Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center. Sound edits by Munck Studios.
