Thesis Statement, as of Nov 2nd, 2011

As of Nov2nd, 2011
  • Where: Urban Open Space (Ars Electronica Center and/or a specific site: assuming a public plaza where preconception is *bad*)
  • What/Goal: Create, show and prove a several designs which achieve Placemaking: making space to place by action of its users. Change preconception of a space to something significant to be said as a place.
  • Why: Design of urban open space has certain limitation to follow fast changing nature of society and its activities because of its static material, low frequency of renovation and lack of communication with its users in design process. We need something to fill this gap to keep the space active as a keystone of a city.
Fast changing societyが具体的に何をさすのか、その問題にopen spaceデザインがどのように対応できていて、できていないのか。問題においつくスピードが問題なのか。
  • How: Community Art and Design have a concept of  direct participation to compromise these limits of urban design. And activities with the concept are often called Placemaking effort. Designs we introduce in this research also amplifies the concept into action using following two materials and techniques.
    • 1:Lighting and theater lighting technique to change urban space visually in dynamic but temporary sense.
    • 2: To emphasize capability of participation, adaptation and dynamic change, we also use  ICT technology such as embedded/mobile sensors and network to connect altogether.

ああ、そういうアートとデザインがあって、すでに補完してくれていてよかったね、で終わってしまう。

何故この２つの素材と技術が必要なのかが不明瞭。

  • For Whom: Group of end users of the place. Mostly residents and commuters work nearby. If the place coexists commercial activities, visitors/customers are also important.
  • When: ‘Design of evening time’ :when they pass-by, when they kill time and also when lighting has its max value in terms of aesthetics.

The urban media lighting is a medium consists of physical devices such as LED light, mobile phone and networked sensors combined with mobilephone network to connect users. This combination of hardware, software and service should be a part of public service. (What)

It supports social stability to resolve a weakness of urban spaces built based on modern urban planning theory: lack of attention to keep, maintain and forge social ties of its users. We can find different types of urban space where social ties between its inhabitants are in danger. (Why)

This is for the place where different type of people come across in daily basis such as Station, Shopping mall, Park, etc in emerging city areas such as suburban new-town or boundary where new city is about to concur old city. (Where)

The users of those places are not aware of each other’s existence because they just moved in or in a situation like groups of people with different demographics are juxtaposed without proper contact points and occasions. Or improper urban planning even weaken existing ties and make familiar people unfamiliar.(Who)

The urban media lighting system provides shared experiences between them with a combination of physical device and network service situated on site. It gives interaction between members of user in two ways. specially when wants and desires of them cross and conflicts at the site. The system embraces the conflict, and give the users to (How)

When needs of different user conflicts, interaction (needs more detail. What circumstances and /or situation->what) happens.When social ties are weaken, the (When)

  • Why: Social Capital is a buzz word
  • Where: You’ll need at least 3 examples and (an) elaboration
  • Who:　誰？姿が見えない。記述が浅いから
  • Why:　どのような問題が起こっているのか

  • How:　どんなインタラクションが起こるのか？
