Episode 25: Edges, Interfaces, the Formalization of the Digital


Listen Later

Christian and Chris delve discuss the how the digital world is formalized in the physical world through interface design. They discuss how our interfaces and interactions with digital environments have evolved over time.  How have physical forms of digital entities been explored in the past and what has led to the reduction of formal elements over time?  Is the phone really the best universal interface? What do stores such as the Amazon Go Store or Nike's new House of Innovation mean for architecture and digital design? How does an entire building act as an interface for people's interactions in the world?
