Vi mangler et godt språk for hvordan byens rom brukes. Ved å klassifisere bruken, vil man kunne legge grunnlag for en mer kritisk diskurs rundt offentlige byrom. .. Read »

Vi mangler et godt og presist språk om bylivets erfaringsverden, kompleks og sammensatt, dynamisk og foranderlig som den er. Én utfordring i den forbindelse er at byen like mye oppleves og erfares kroppslig og sansemessig som kognitivt og språklig. .. Read »

This paper identifies and discusses a set of challenges relating to the design of digital services in policies and strategies for more liveable and sustainable cities. These challenges emerge in the meeting between the knowledge and practice fields of digital design, which deal with service and interaction design, and urbanism, which is concerned with the study, planning and design of cities...

Hva er det som gjør en by vital? Og kan man planlegge for en vital by? Byen er et sted hvor ulike krefter utspiller seg. Mennesker møtes, bygninger bygges og parker anlegges. I løpet av de siste tiårene har man i Skandinavia ønsket å utvikle levende byer, byer som ser vakre ut, og som folk kan bo og trives i... Read »

These ‘designed moves’ heighten the significance of both design knowledge and research interpretations in an exploratory and dynamic inquiry... Read »

Recent years have seen the rapid growth of mobile communication and more recently smart phones and apps. But how might we approach ‘learning the networking city’? In this paper we reflect on the negotiation of a mobile app for cultural mapping of the networked city developed as part of a large design research project into social media and the city... Read »

Contemporary discourses on urban redevelopment and design are, at least as seen from the perspective of Northern Europe, surprisingly alike and homogeneous. They all subscribe to the idea that the future lies in building some version of “the creative city.” It is a city being rebuilt based on the happy mix of creativity and knowledge with culture and urban consumption...

Research now includes place-specific computing, locative media applications (‘apps’), and open source tools (OpenStreetMaps, Ushahidi)... Read »
