Theme
Digital Infrastructure at the Scale of the Hybrid City
Media architecture is involved in placemaking and smart city initiatives through infrastructure large and small. While connected information displays and mobile phones might inform tenants about energy efficiency, coordinated large-scale facades and screens can influence the identities of entire cities. How can the various scales that media architecture operates in be connected to support social structures within the territory of a city? A country? A planet? How can we think critically and creatively about the past, present, and future developments of expressive, connected, and reactive architectural elements at both a local and global
scale?
-----------------------
We consider media architecture as an inclusive term that encompasses encounters and intersections between digital technologies and our physical surroundings. We invite papers that present and discuss novel contributions to media architecture both on a practical and theoretical level and that further our understanding of the eld through case studies, design approaches, and best practices. We expect contributions to critically explore a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
– How to support the development of social structures with urban digital media
– Social & Cultural Aspects of Media Architecture
– Participatory Architecture & City Planning
– Spatial Locative Media
– Case Studies of Specific Projects
– Future Trends & Prototypes
– Media Facades & Urban Displays
– Interaction Techniques & Interfaces
– Critical & Historical Perspectives on Media Architecture
– Design Processes & Methods
Specifically related to or framed conceptually and theoretically with the following concepts/terms:
– infrastructure
– smart cities
– coordinated and connected media architecture systems across cities, countries, and the world
Paper submission deadline: 7 May 2018
