Abstract

This paper attempts to challenge the established practice of design and engineering of smart environments in two ways. Its first premise is that smart spaces should be formed by systems that comprise not only home or office appliances, but also embedded building component agents. The second premise of this paper is a consequent call for an interdisciplinary approach to creation of smart spaces. Experimental undergraduate course is used to provide a set of case studies to illustrate benefits and threats of such approach, as well as the relevance of the integration of iterative prototyping already in the earliest phases of design processes.
