In this sense, the total design approach is revised by actualizing the concept of integral architect (Bonaccorso, 2019) coined by Gustavo Giovannoni , who in those times tried to give an answer to the need to control the most important transition nodes between the design and the realization of the work, that is, the control of the process by including all figures, from engineering to furniture. Today, total design is about returning to a cross-disciplinary awareness, while overcoming the demiurgic role of a single figure, the architect, and the separation of disciplinary competencies, and entrusting a set of actors and enabling technologies to converge in shared solutions, reducing conflict.…”
