Technology is taking an even bigger role in architecture and design in terms of communicating environmental indicators.
"'We're at a very special point in design when a counter-revolution is about to happen, very similar to the 1920s, when [Swiss-French pioneer of Modern Architecture] Le Corbusier wrote that machine civilization was looking for its architectural expression,' Carlo Ratti, director of the SENSEable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) told CNN.
'Today it's a digital civilization that is really about to find its architectural expression.'"
