Call:
The buildings, towns and cities we inhabit are physical entities created in the past, experienced in the present, and projected to inform the future. However, they each had, at their inception, social and cultural roles beyond their ‘object’ status. They continue to have them today. Increasingly, the way we engage with them is also a question of hybrid experiences and overlaid histories. This conference addresses the range of issues connected to this scenario.
This complexity is even more pronounced in the case of digital artefacts and experiences such as computational design, VR simulations of ancient buildings. Intangible at the very moment of their inception, such designed artifacts not only blur the difference between the object and the experience but, increasingly, the past and the present. Considered in this context it is not surprising that recently questions about the nature of heritage and design have opened up to redefinitions of the tangible and the intangible. How should digital reconstructions of monuments and buildings be interlaced in material existence? How do the designers of cities and buildings engage with ‘being in the world’ through the medium of a screen etc?
Picking up strands of art, architecture, design and socio-cultural debates found throughout the twentieth century (and before) this conference seeks perspectives from design, architecture, cultural theory, social history, technology and the arts. It seeks to overlay our notions of the digital, on ideas of heritage and concepts of physicality and the present.
