CALL SUMMARY – LONDON
Through ubiquitous computing, big data, A.I. and a plethora of related digital technologies, our cities have become sites for the production, processing and sharing of information. They are also places designed and built through data based digital architecture, planning and construction. The ‘digital city’ and ‘smart buildings’ being just two consequences. These data filled places are also sites for the creative imagination. The Matrix, Ex Machina, Her, Minority Report are just a few of the films that have built on the imaginary in recent times. However, there are concerns. GIS, Google Maps and Facebook all offer interconnected information on urban life. They are also conduits for the collation of personal data and its misuse. The assumption of digital access for all leads some to worry about issues of social exclusion. Sociologists highlight the dangers of the digital dependency of future generations. 3D printed buildings threaten job losses in the construction industry. The idea of parametric urbanism is an anathema to many for whom city is a place of interpersonal interaction. This conference seeks to explore these themes through a range of disciplinary perspectives: architecture, urban design, planning, art, digital design, communications, landscape design and more.

CALL SUMMARY – NEW YORK
The premise of this conference is that the city is a site of interconnected problems and solutions operative across disciplines, both today, and in the future. While issues of architectural design, urbanization, resilience, housing and healthy cities etc. all respond to their own unique and independent demands, they are also interrelated. As a result, innovations in one area are useful in another. This conference suggests that: i) nowhere is this interrelated dynamic more evident than in the issue of climate change and ii) that the host city, New York, offers a perfect example of the interconnected urban phenomena. On that basis, it seeks to instigate interdisciplinary debate on initiatives in specific fields with the objective of offering a fuller and broader understanding of our work and its potential impact inside and outside our own disciplinary boundaries.
