In recent years the design of interior space has acquired a fundamental role in defining the functional and cultural quality of contemporary cities.

An interior of any kind, private or public (museum, hospital, office, airport, station), permanent or temporary, is always a complexity of elements that contribute to the quality of private life and of human relationships. The dimension of space and furnishing elements, the technical and expressive management of light, of colour, of sound and micro-climate are the elements that an interior designer must know how to shape and compose today.

Designing here means starting with the outer shell and working within it, operating not only on its furnishing systems and settings, but also on the entire range of components that make space culturally and functionally inhabitable.
