Imagination and digital media in the architecture design process.

Architectural design is a complex process that involves various professional figures, knowledge in multiple fields and competencies, managed by specific cognitive abilities, and that has always found the opportunity to develop, and finally potentially reach a tangible outcome, by integrating tools capable of absorbing some of these abilities. This research arises from the need to question the role of technology in architectural design, defined as the set of digital tools available to the architect, now that it is equipped with ever greater potential and with interfaces that even exceed the "traditional" screen. We propose a critical analysis of the relationship between digital tools and imagination on a cognitive level.
