It is also a place designed, envisaged and increasingly built through data based digital architecture, planning and construction. Both scenarios mediate how we design and experience the city. The result is a series of complex interactions of people, places and data and the establishment of the 'digital city', 'smart buildings' and 'intelligent' urbanism. This new polemic agency of the machine informs the creative industries. A plethora of films in recent decades have built on the imaginary it offers while, in the arts, data is increasingly used as both a tool and motive for artworks. 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. 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 and related issues from a variety of discipline perspectives. - To participate, submit an abstract: https://architecturemps.com/london-hatfield/ - OTHER CONFERENCES The conference is part of a series organized by Routledge, Intellect Books and AMPS.
