Sentient City: ubiquitous computing, architecture, and the future of urban space
Sentient City explores the experience of living in a city that can remember, correlate, and anticipate.
The Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series, published by the Architectural League of New York, explores the implications of ubiquitous computing for architecture and urbanism.
How are our experience of the city and the choices we make in it are affected by mobile communications, pervasive media, ambient informatics and other “situated” technologies? How will the ability to design increasingly responsive environments alter the ways we conceive of space? What do architects need to know about urban computing, and what do technologists need to know about cities? How are these issues themselves situated within larger social, cultural, environmental, and political concerns?
