Is everything “phygital”? Are all our projects now neither physical nor digital, but both? How can a “phygital mindset” lead to better experience design? Exhibition designer and “phygital architect” Alin Tocmacov joins host Jonathan Alger (both partners at C&G Partners) to hash out some key principles, in “8 Ways to Be Phygital”. Stops along the way: magic portals, digital architecture, and that thing about glowing rectangles. Quotable Quotes:“Phygital is a mindset.” “Think beyond the glowing rectangle.” “A site-specific experience is unique by definition.” “Technology shouldn’t be applied to architecture, it should be the architecture.” “Every member of a project team now has to think phygitally.” How to Listen:Subscribe and listen anywhere you get your podcasts.
