MIT - Mobile Experience Lab
Radically reinventing and creatively designing connections
between people, information and places using cutting
edge information technologies in order to improve
people‘s lives through meaningful experiences.
With a multidisciplinary team we research and design new
technologies along with their impact in societies, spaces
and communities.

Goal: Re-design 3 tourists routes in the city
Modern, Baroque and Medieval
Federico Casalegno, MIT
[1] to tag existing buildings and
leave formal messages about
history, architecture and the city.
[2] To re-design the touristic routes
with more subjective, experiential
information.
[3] Create social network in
order to establish communication
within particular group of friends.

CONCLUSIONS
Federico Casalegno, MIT
Skeleton and Skin
Pre-industrial cities consisted
essentially of skeleton and skin.
They provided shelter and protection,
and through stacking floors vertically
they enabled intensification of land use.
Federico Casalegno, MIT
Artificial Physiologies
Cities of the industrial era acquired
increasingly extensive and
sophisticated artificial physiologies –
water supply and drainage systems,
energy supply systems, and
mechanized transportation.
Federico Casalegno, MIT
Electronic Nervous System
Cities of the digital information era are
developing electronic nervous systems.
When these electronic nervous
systems are integrated with other
networks and systems, cities begin to
operate as intelligent organisms that
make coordinated responses to
changing conditions and needs.
