Digital Transformation
Digital transformation in Industry 4.0 seen through architectural point of view describes the "smart spaces" as the "Internet of Spaces". Compared to IoT (Internet of Things), it conceptualizes the interconnected intelligent spaces which are adaptable to the user in any possible way. The building block of such environments is Information. There are three major areas of such concept, defining what and how we create, what is our organizational structure and how we collaborate, and what is our new working environment. These are Virtual Prototype, Virtual Enterprise, and Virtual Environment.

User Experience
Space is defined through user experience rather than pre-defined and determined functions. Form follows feedback.
