Design Meeting notes 22.04.08

What is the ‘network’?

 What are the activities that the ‘network’ facilitates?

 Discussed the project taking on the following forms

 

1. System Diagram

 

2. Virtual City – entered via a web-site

 

3. The intersection of the virtual city with the real city – how the virtual affects the real city of the 2030 plan

 

Note:

What are the protocols managing the events?

How does the event / scenario relate to the objectives of the design studio?

 

Protocol Layers

 

Application Layer

 Social

Transport Layer         

Connection  

Internet Layer       

Movement

Physical Layer

Material

 

Initial ideas for what the system might encompass:

 

1. Testing system – test outcomes in the virtual city via protocols and different data input sets

 

2. Political system – who controls ‘the system’ who owns it, operates it, how do you access it, who is left out of it?

 

3. Active system – scenario 1 – Protocol City

How the public realm can be reprogrammed given protocol management – protocols adapt to different data sets to give many possible results for singular spaces.

 

4. Active system – scenario 2 – Democratic City

Citizens vote on issues affecting their environment – perhaps more than voting – they suggest – they design?

 

5. Active System – scenario 3 – Sustainable City

How the system deals with the issues of sustainability behaviour. What sort of sustainable system does it promote?

 

6. Active System – scenario 4 – Social city

City of virtual connections – system to facilitate real space physical interactions
