New Models of Hospitality and Work : The Project Between the Experiential, Narrative and Community Dimensions

This chapter analyzes the changes in the ongoing production models, the new scenarios for creative work, the conversion processes and new usage dynamics of coworking spaces, and finally the Fab Labs’ proactive role in the social, economic, productive and urban transformations that are involving our cities. All these fields concern the sphere of innovation; the case studies analyzed seem particularly interesting in this regard not only because they propose a hybridization of traditional typologies by inventing a new space model, not only because they recognize the “spectacularization of work” as a project category, but also because they introduce new patterns of fruition and of service capable of triggering creative thoughts.
