A+U 530 14:11 DATA DRIVEN CITIESGuest-edited by Alastair Townsend, this issue dives into the complex
topicality of the deluge of data driving urbanism and our lives today.
It is often stressed how human agency (designers or users) must be the
driving force behind technologies conceived to meet cities’ rapidly
evolving needs. A series of themes is investigated (mapping, media
facades, mobility, computational tools, open-source urbanism), shedding
new light on the subjects underlying this contentious discussion. Filled
with special features and interviews, plus contributions by Dan Hill,
Eric Fischer, Carlo Ratti and Matthew Claudel, Thomas Schielke, John
Frazer, Usman Haque, Geeta Mehta and more. |
