17.01.2022 Tune in for our LIVE CAST at the Pakhuis de Zwijger ! Media Architecture Today, for Tomorrow’s Cities Thursday, Sep 10 | 14:00 15:00 CET Media Architecture: ...what is it, and why does it matter? Media architecture is a newly emerging discipline, integrating digital and physical elements in the design of our cities. As a part of The Media Architecture Biennale 20, this program will explore how the design and deployment of new media technologies like urban screens, interactive art installations, and digital sensor networks can shape urban life beyond the mere spectacular, by envisioning and fueling public debates about possible futures of the media city. Join us in this conversation and, together, let's explore how can Media Architecture help us to critically reflect on and envision the future of our cities? >> Speakers: Nanna Verhoeff - Full Prof. of Screen Cultures and Society at Utrecht University Frank Suurenbroek - Lector Bouwtransformatie at Hogeschool van Amsterdam - HvA Dave Colangelo - Assistant Professor at Ryerson University Filippo Lodi - Head of Innovation and Knowledge Management at UNStudio >> Moderator: Michiel de Lange - Assistant Professor in Media Studies at Utrecht University >> Click on the link below to register and find more info! #MAB20 #MediaArchitecture #MABcommunity #FuturesImplied #architecture #design #livingaparttogether #livecast #amsterdam #pakhuisdezwijger https://mab20.mediaarchitecture.org//live-cast-media-arch/

13.01.2022 >>> #MABcommunity <<< Marcus Foth is a professor of Urban Informatics in the QUT Design Lab, and also one of the founders of the More-than-Human-Futures Group,... which leads a proactive, creative response to the unfolding planetary ecocide. At the MAB18, in Beijing, Foth made a call for a More-than-human Media Architecture, proposing nascent design considerations for media architecture to go beyond the needs of just humans and to consider new ways to appreciate and cater for our broader ecological entanglements with plants, animals, and the environment at large. He was recently invited as a keynote speaker at the 8th International Conference Arte-Polis, Architecture Design Program, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia - where he explored the topic: More-than-Human Futures: Connected Urbanism and Cohabitation in the Smart City. Watch the full presentation below: https://youtu.be/WWTtjQx5rcA?t=936 >>> Let us know about your projects, publications & events, and we will share it on our online channels!
