3. This space has become larger, more fluid,
distributed and complex. It is filled with data
streams from all types of sources.

4. Urban Interaction Design is a response to this escalation

5. The UrbanIxD Project (2013-14)

6. From Life Between Buildings to Life Between Systems

7. Playtime (1967) - Jacques Tati
The Zoned City

8. The Fractal City

9. Venice (2013)

10. What follows are two Design Fictions, each exploring
some aspect of how data collected at the city level
could impact at the local level ....
Each fiction is a story that makes us reflect on how we
lead our lives today.

11. Coordination of Urban Busy Areas (CUBA)

13. Maybe the Fractal City exhibits canonical
patterns that can reveal the subtleties and
nuances associated with urban living.
