PARTICIPATORY SENSING 1/4 – the data-citizen driven city. This post is the first of 4 posts about Participatory Sensing (projects and research) that are going to be published weekly for the next 4 Fridays.

PARTICIPATORY SENSING 1/4 – the data-citizen driven city

In these posts I will share my research on participatory sensing, open data and smartcities that I started about 6 months ago. The first post is about The data-citizen driven city project which I developed with César García, Jorge Medal and Sara Thomson on September 2011. With this project, produced by a multidisciplinary team consisting of an IT System Administrator, an Industrial Designer, an Artist and an Architect, I really started considering how data can empower communities and catalyze social change. We presented The data-citizen driven city project for the 4Th ADVANCED ARCHITECTURE CONTEST “CITY-SENSE: Shaping our environment with real-time data” by The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia on the 26Th September. Our proposal focused on a technological, social and urban process would take place over ten years time. Urban Agents & Citizen Apps, Towards an Autonomous Interactive Urban Planning Platform. Fabio Carrera (MIT Ph.D.) will present some real-world applications that begin to demonstrate how it is now becoming practical to “fill the City Knowledge pipeline” from data collection, to information visualization, to modeling and interactive participation in urban planning decisions.

Urban Agents & Citizen Apps, Towards an Autonomous Interactive Urban Planning Platform

HS11 L01 - Introduction, New methods in urban simulation and modeling. Mainly Based on my Lectures at ASU, Ritsumeikan, and UCL. A Science of Cities. Affiliate Students. Visiting Research Students at CASA You can apply to come to CASA as an Affiliate PhD student if you are registered for a PhD at an overseas university and want to spend a period of 3 to 12 months at CASA undertaking research which is complementary to the Doctorate/PhD project at your 'home' university.

Affiliate Students

All students whose first language is not English must be able to provide recent evidence that their spoken and written command of the English language is adequate for the programmes for which they have applied. Full details on UCL's English language requirements can be found on this page. Students will either be charged at the UK/EU rate or at the the Overseas Student rate. The rates for 2013/2014 are: UK/EU: £4,400Overseas: £15,750 For further details on how to apply to study at CASA as a visiting research student please go to the UCL Visiting Research Students page. As CASA does not have an established Exchange agreement, you will need to apply as an independent research student. Complex Urban: Definitions of Scale, Form, and Culture.

Complex Urban: Definitions of Scale, Form, and Culture

Photo: Atsuko Kawamori/UNU-IAS Event SummaryTuesday, 13 April 2010, 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm at UNU-IAS in Yokohama On April 13, 2010, four speakers and an audience of researchers, planning professionals, and students from a multitude of different disciplinary backgrounds came together to discuss definitions of the ‘urban’. Before the backdrop of global environmental change and worldwide socioeconomic restructuring, growing urban agglomerations and the increasing number of urban dwellers pose challenges to the sustainability and management of cities.

The ‘urban process’ is at the centre of attention for researchers and professionals, but it seems that we lack a precise and common definition of the ‘urban’ category per se.

The exercise addresses contemporary computational challenges in urban design in order to provide students with practical knowledge in the field of architecture. Various parametric design and analysis tools as well as urban design proposals are developed during the workshop. The work on the design project is mainly performed using the Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino. Flyer PDF.
