How will the places of our daily life change? What new scenarios could open up for the professions? A virus has blocked the world but not thoughts and reflections.
IN THE FASHION SECTOR
The CNMI will offer digital formats for the London and Paris fashion week with entirely digital events and remote visits dedicated to the showrooms. Development and improvements of eCommerce sites of high fashion that can increasingly satisfy the demanding requests of users and technological training of employees for a more important role of online commerce.

IN ARCHITECTURE
In urban architecture, the quality of life will be a determining factor for the future design of spaces. «More rarefied and alternating flows will have to be the new measure. A season not without unknowns opens, a completely new state transition: from the self-retraction of social life, we will look for forms of adaptation towards a gradual, and hopefully fast, process of extroversion in public spaces. The wish for all is that this adaptation is not without surprises and happy intuitions.
