This paper provides a methodological perspective regarding the design of ambient computing systems informed by the notion of Aesthetics of Interaction. This approach stemmed from the growing complexity that is offered by interaction when computation is distributed in the environment and embodied in all sorts of objects. In this work the notion of Aesthetics of Interaction in ambient computing systems is challenged by the use of the Soft Requirements as tools that complement the existing design methodologies based on participatory design approaches. The perspective presented is based on the work conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Siena Hospital - Italy as a part of the EU PalCom project. The outcomes provide a heuristic account, which informs the design process by fostering the novel complexity of ambient/palpable technologies in delicate and fragile settings.
