The document discusses the importance of understanding the problem that an architectural project aims to solve. It states that architects should start by thoroughly analyzing the problem, and that the goal of participation is cooperative learning between stakeholders. Successful architecture is described as solving problems through a participatory process that respects all viewpoints and tailors the approach to each situation.
This document discusses different approaches to design honestly and sustainability. It argues that simply making small changes to reduce environmental impact is not enough, and a truly sustainable approach requires considering all factors in a project's lifecycle. It advocates reusing and building upon past work instead of constant new production. Design should be an open dialogue and part of cultural evolution, allowing work to be modified and spread without strict control or ownership.
Exploiting incidental interactions between mobile devicesRaúl Kripalani
This document discusses three projects that exploit incidental interactions on mobile devices: 1) Amigo uses Bluetooth to construct a social network representation and associate contacts with calendar events. 2) Co-presence Communities extends Amigo by mining co-presence data to discover recurring group meetings. 3) BluScreen is a public display that uses co-presence data to provide feedback to an agent marketplace allocating presentation time slots.
Some thoughts about concepts, executions and things like thatThomas Wagner
The document discusses evolving approaches to marketing communications and integrated campaigns. It argues that traditional TV-centered campaigns are no longer sufficient given shifts in media consumption to digital and online platforms. Instead, it advocates for a transmedia planning approach where each medium is leveraged for its strengths and concepts are developed with specific media in mind, rather than trying to force the same idea across different channels. The focus should be on creating experiences for people in their daily lives over 365 days, not one-off campaigns. From concepts to executions to evaluation, brands must consider how their narratives integrate with culture and people's relationships with different media contexts.

The document introduces the topics of performance, Churchill, feminism, and gender politics. It discusses different definitions of performance/theatre. It notes that theatre reflects the society it was created in, so Caryl Churchill's plays must be understood in the context of the 1960s when she wrote them. The 1960s brought developments like the pill, legalized abortion, and the sexual revolution, which had major implications for women's roles and experiences.
The document discusses how to build trust in cloud computing. It recommends a four-layer approach: 1) Educate yourself on cloud terms and security measures; 2) Monitor cloud services and infrastructure for issues; 3) Establish processes for training, escalation, and documentation; 4) Practice failover procedures by backing up data and testing backup systems. Following these steps can help address common concerns about lack of control, visibility and reliability in cloud computing.

Can eParticipation take over the world? Paul Johnston keynote at the PEP-NET ...PEP-NET
The document discusses challenges with current policymaking processes and how eParticipation could help address some of these challenges. It outlines perspectives from both "e-Democrats" and policymakers. Policymakers want help understanding public views, highlighting tradeoffs, challenging vested interests, and providing objective information. The document proposes improving consultation through social media, widgets, and transparency around stakeholder input, citizen input, and real-time co-produced policy resources. However, acknowledging citizen impact and changes of mind remains difficult for governments. Overall eParticipation tools should improve policy debate quality rather than encourage simplistic views of complex issues.

An introduction to Government 2.0, Anke Domscheit-BergPEP-NET
This document summarizes Anke Domscheit-Berg's presentation on Government 2.0. It discusses how new technologies have changed citizen expectations for interacting with government. Government 2.0 uses an open government strategy based on transparency, collaboration and participation principles and powered by internet technologies. Examples discussed include open data initiatives in Vancouver and the US that have led to valuable apps being developed by citizens. Germany and North Rhine-Westphalia are discussed as implementing open government strategies including open data and new participation methods. Benefits include increased efficiency and engagement through open data and crowdsourcing apps.
Morten Meyerhoff Nielsen: Status and Requirements to Optimise Future BenefitsPEP-NET
The document discusses the status and future of eParticipation in Europe. It outlines the EU's agenda to promote citizen participation and empowerment through digital technologies. It finds that while many countries and initiatives have policies and programs for eParticipation, the use of social media and new technologies remains limited. It argues that governments should better support independent third parties, make participation frameworks more bottom-up, and unlock public data to optimize eParticipation over the next five years as the field expands beyond politics into governance, services, and community development.
The document summarizes the Citizens' Forum 2011, a project consisting of 25 regional citizens' forums and 1 national network across Germany. Each regional forum would have 400 participants selected randomly to represent diverse backgrounds. The forums use both online and in-person elements, including online discussions to develop policy proposals which are then voted on at regional and national levels to create citizens' agendas. The goal is for 10,000 total participants nationwide to deliberate on policy challenges and develop solutions through collaborative drafting and voting processes at both regional and national scales.

1. LivingTom is a fictional product designed to provoke conversations about complex social and technological issues through subtle interactions and movements.
2. The designer explored various prototypes before settling on a single unit where pressing sensors on the surface would cause a plastic bag and fans inside to create subtle kinetic movements.
3. While fictional, the product is designed to seem realistic enough that people could imagine it in their own homes. This allows designers to comment on future scenarios and potentially inspire changes in technology, interactions and behaviors.

This document discusses unframing collective housing by examining systems. It explores how Christopher Alexander addressed complex design problems through patterns and a pattern language. The document then defines a system as a set of related parts that work together to organize or control something according to rules or a plan. It presents 11 housing projects developed through the Master in Collective Housing program to demonstrate different systems for addressing design problems, considering factors like industrialization, material impacts, and flexibility. Each project chapter introduces the objective, deliverables, concept, and the system used. The overall goal is to understand how every project leads to a system adapted to the user and context, and how systems can support the design process while linking to an architect's creativity.
The mythical man month was first published in 1975, and I am amazed how relevant it is today even after so many advanced in technology. The book and my course at MIT encouraged me to define the principles of architecture for my reference.
Understanding Context for UX Strategy UXSTRAT 2015 Andrew Hinton
1) The document discusses three themes for how context relates to UX strategy: environmental complexity, principles and facts, and framing and narrative. As environments become more complex with new digital technologies, UX strategy must address this complexity beyond just interfaces.
2) UX strategy requires understanding both the systemic principles behind human experience and behavior, as well as specific facts and realities. Projects often focus only on assumptions and theories without testing against real data.
3) Human context is shaped by how experiences are framed and narrated. Strategies need to regularly re-examine narratives to avoid "narrative debt" that obscures realities. Framing complexity with clarity is important, rather than just pursuing simplicity.
Technology Enabled Business TransformationMikkel Brahm
Findings from my PhD and professional experience as an Enterprise Architect on how we can guide transformation of businesses, and development of enabling technological solutions.
Presented at IT University, Copenhagen, Oct. 4 2019.
The document discusses introducing a new business model and portfolio anatomy tool for a struggling surfing brand. It proposes focusing the brand exclusively on surfers by offering a board shipping service and renting dynamic warehouse space. A portfolio anatomy would help visualize the relationships between projects like transitioning suppliers, integrating warehouses, launching new services and IT system updates needed to implement the changes. Breaking dependencies and adopting shorter iteration cycles could help explore opportunities and adapt the portfolio to improve flexibility.
Designing communicating objects, bu Paolo Volontégueste474cb0
1) The document discusses how designers are communicators, as the objects they design communicate information to users through their form and function.
2) It argues that objects communicate not just instructions for use, but also convey social and historical meanings as they accumulate traces of past uses through their "biography".
3) In modern society, objects play an important role in interpersonal communication, as they help people to rapidly identify and understand others in an uncertain social environment. Designers respond to this need by diversifying object types.
This document discusses the importance of daylight in architecture. It notes that daylight improves children's performance and happiness in schools by up to 25%, according to researcher Lisa Heschong. While science can help little in understanding how space and form create impressions, certain guidelines have been established for humane urban development based on behavioral research. The architect's responsibility is to create healthy, sustainable spaces that support human life.

A document discusses collaborative e-governance and outlines some key ideas:
1) Collaborative planning processes supported by scientific research tend to create powerful internal networks that can influence policymakers. Participation is different from true collaboration which emphasizes outputs, outcomes, and building social capital.
2) Process thinkers emphasize assessing the performance of collaborative planning by looking at outcomes like social capital, institutional capacity, and innovation rather than just outputs. Science can lead to social outcomes when done collaboratively.
3) Early views of e-governance saw it creating more transparent and cheap interaction between governments and citizens, but the boundaries are messy in reality. Local e-governance studies found poorer cities have more inform

Talk at Innovation Nights @ N-Cube, Gent
This document provides an overview of the trans-tonic 57.3 project, which involves the architectural transition of tectonics at the corner of East 57th Street and 3rd Avenue in New York City. It discusses the context and site-specific considerations, as well as the proposed programming which includes a gallery, restaurant, and potential "Xfactor" element like a radio station. The brief outlines the client's desires for a flexible space. Key aspects of the design approach involve resolving contradictions in the work, addressing both local and global scales, and creating an architecture that encourages exploration and discovery. Materiality, light, and the articulation of space are also emphasized as important design tools.
The document discusses effective communication management in construction and real estate projects. It emphasizes that communication is key to project success as it involves many stakeholders from diverse backgrounds. Challenges to effective communication include a lack of clear objectives, faulty transmission of information, misunderstandings, and environmental issues. The document outlines best practices for internal and external communication with different stakeholders like the project team, customers, architects, and consultants. It stresses the importance of active listening, questioning, educating others, and setting expectations.
This document provides an overview of the interior design process. It discusses the major stages including analysis, concept development, and design development. Analysis involves assessing the project scope and requirements, while concept development summarizes the style and ideas. Design development is where the designer generates ideas to create a practical and aesthetic design solution. The process is flexible and stages may change depending on the unique needs of each project. Sustainability should be considered at every stage.
Synthesizing your thoughts in one imageThei Geurts
This document summarizes an image that synthesizes the author's core thoughts on accessible, assessable, and actionable knowledge. The image depicts circles representing crucial concepts in the knowledge economy, which can be discussed individually. It shows the relationship between values/norms, rules, context, decisions, actions, and outcomes. Events trigger conversations with a knowledge system to assess situations and determine actions. Additional images may provide more detail on topics like the virtuous spiral and integrated value chain. The goal is to create a shared knowledge network that supports contextual decision making and moving from insight to action.
