    interaktiv.tagesspiegel.de/lab

    In 2024, @lehmann and I co-taught Mapping Cities – Making Cities to students of #InterfaceDesign and #UrbanFutures and one team asked: is access to a pool a matter of privilege? This question sparked an in-depth investigation that led to a surprising finding…

  13. Just stumbled across feministspatialpractices.com – expanding index of feminism in relation to the built environment. The website brings together feminist spatial practices from around the world. Looks really relevant for anyone interested in how feminism reshapes cities and spaces.

    It was initiated by Bryony Roberts and Abriannah Aiken as a contribution to the e-flux exhibition Chronograms of Architecture:

  17. Towards the end of his life, Warren Magnusson implored us to imagine radical democratic engagement "premised on the 'open city' rather than the closed nation".

    Would that we'd heed that profoundly wise insight.

    About the call:

    Cities brim over with #speculation. Urban futures are conceived, dreamt of and calculated through a wide variety of speculative practices. Where finance has long speculated on cities, and the #city has served as a playground for sociological thought and more recently #datascience, the city has also become a test bed in the register of #smartcities and #platformurbanism. At the same time, the actors involved in urban speculation have expanded, from urban planners to data scientists and smart city consultants to #BigTech. Through tests and experiments, #technology is deployed to speculate on cultural, social and economic life in the city, and thus puts a claim on cities’ technoscientific futures. How has Big Tech normalized and monopolized speculations on #urbanfutures? What do these futures (potentially) look like? How do urbanites interfere in these mostly black-boxed prophecies and business models? And how are anti-speculations / speculative otherwises performed?

  37. Yesterday @tomduscher and his MA students of #InformationDesign at #MuthesiusKH visited us at #FHPotsdam. We had a pleasant exchange on designing, researching and prototyping interactive #DataVis projects - especially in the context of #SciComm, #UrbanFutures and #CulturalHeritage.

    Thank you for the visit!
