Over the last three years, the
MACE project
developed concepts, tools and
infrastructures to make digital
information about architecture more
accessible. An integral part of the
project was the development of
interactive visualizations that allow to
search and browse contents about
architecture in novel ways.
The workshop »Living with Information: Architecture and Visualization« (October 16 , 2009 at FH Potsdam) will juxtapose experiences and results from the MACE project with thoughts and design approaches from practitioners in the fields of design, architecture and technology. Guided by five central questions, we will explore future trends in information visualization, the relationship of visualization tools and creativity plus issues like information over- and underload. The workshop will be hosted by Prof. Boris Müller and Moritz Stefaner. Please note that all presentations and discussions will be in english. |

 The MACE project is a pan-european initiative to make digital information about architecture more accessible. Over the course of 3 years, an interdisciplinary team across 14 institutions developed concepts, tools and the infrastructure to search and share architectural contents in novel ways.  The MACE project is co-funded by the European Commission under the eContentplus programme (OJ L 79, 24.3.2005, p. 1.), a multi– annual Community programme to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable.  Please note also the following event on October 15: W3C Office Opening & Conference |

 These questions will constitute a red line for the symposium: |
Has information visualization changed your life? (or at least a bit) . If so, any particular one? |
living with information: which project demonstrates your idea of future directions in this area? |
||
|
Everybody is talking about
information overload. Where do you experience information "underload" in life, or during research and design? What do you envision to fix this? |
Christopher Frayling discusses
3 types of design research: research into, through and for design. Which tools do you use for what? |
Great design is often achie-
ved by protective ego-driven geniuses. Can we "open source" design? How would that work? |
