This book was born from the Human Body Interaction research begun in 2020 and performed by the Advanced Design Unit at the Department of Architecture of the Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna in a partnership with the company RE:Lab. The research is investigating how the pervasive spread of new technology is creating an unprecedented awareness that takes shape in deep body manipulation practices and processes through design. The research process branched from the book Human Body Design: Corpo e progetto nell’economia della trasformatività by Flaviano Celaschi and Giorgio Casoni, published in 2020. The essay intertwines experience and knowledge from different dis- ciplines in an attempt to analyze human beings by underlining their need and ability to design human beings. It investigates how and why we have become who we are and how we continue to transform a little at a time. An international symposium has taken place on June 22, 2021, during this analytical phase. The symposium was called Future Design for Human Body Interaction and was organized by Michele Zannoni and Roberto Montanari with the help of Giorgio Dall’Osso and Marco Pezzi. It aims to investigate how enabling technologies are creating skills and behaviors with which new innovation processes take place to deeply renew the concept of design for the body. The Symposium was the occasion to discuss – online and in a multidirectional manner – several questions related to the evolving human-machine relationship. This book has been created to summarize three years of scientific reflection that has contributed to developing research on contemporary design transformations and how such new design methods are finding a deep exchange with the human as a whole – mind and body.

Abstract
This book was born from the Human Body Interaction research begun in 2020 and performed by the Advanced Design Unit at the Department of Architecture of the Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna in a partnership with the company RE:Lab. The research is investigating how the pervasive spread of new technology is creating an unprecedented awareness that takes shape in deep body manipulation practices and processes through design. The research process branched from the book Human Body Design: Corpo e progetto nell’economia della trasformatività by Flaviano Celaschi and Giorgio Casoni, published in 2020. The essay intertwines experience and knowledge from different dis- ciplines in an attempt to analyze human beings by underlining their need and ability to design human beings. It investigates how and why we have become who we are and how we continue to transform a little at a time. An international symposium has taken place on June 22, 2021, during this analytical phase. The symposium was called Future Design for Human Body Interaction and was organized by Michele Zannoni and Roberto Montanari with the help of Giorgio Dall’Osso and Marco Pezzi. It aims to investigate how enabling technologies are creating skills and behaviors with which new innovation processes take place to deeply renew the concept of design for the body. The Symposium was the occasion to discuss – online and in a multidirectional manner – several questions related to the evolving human-machine relationship. This book has been created to summarize three years of scientific reflection that has contributed to developing research on contemporary design transformations and how such new design methods are finding a deep exchange with the human as a whole – mind and body.
