CALL:
Through ubiquitous computing, big data, A.I. and a plethora of related
digital technologies, our cities have become sites for the production,
processing and sharing of information. They are also places designed and
built through data-based digital architecture, planning and construction.
The ‘digital city’ and ‘smart buildings’ being just two consequences. These
data filled places are also sites for the creative imagination. The
Matrix, Ex Machina, Her, Minority Report are just a few of the films that
have built on the imaginary in recent times. However, there are concerns.
GIS, Google Maps and Facebook all offer interconnected information on urban
life. They are also conduits for the collation of personal data and its
misuse. The assumption of digital access for all leads some to worry about
issues of social exclusion. Sociologists highlight the dangers of the
digital dependency of future generations. 3D printed buildings threaten job
losses in the construction industry. The idea of parametric urbanism is
anathema to many for whom city is a place of interpersonal interaction.
This conference seeks to explore these themes through a range of
disciplinary perspectives: architecture, urban design, planning, art,
digital design, communications, landscape design and more.
