Reaver, Kai
PhD-fellow
Kai Reaver’s transdisciplinary doctoral work on conceptual frameworks for the convergence of physical and digital space is situated in both the Institute of Urbanism and Landscape and the Institute of Design. His focus is on the nominally titled ‘Digital City’ as it manifests at the intersection of interaction, computation, architecture and city planning. He places a specific emphasis on the evaluation of augmented reality and digital media as embedded infrastructural components of collective urban experience, design and planning, while analyzing the respective regulatory policies these technologies entail with respect to the public realm, user privacy and data distribution.
