Open-source city: In urban interventions, the metaphor matters — BMW Guggenheim Lab | log
"As digital devices and technological infrastructures increasingly mediate the way we live in cities, the language by which we describe urbanism shifts accordingly." The living city. It’s a phrase or a variation on a phrase you’ve probably heard dozens of times to describe the urban realm.“ In considering novel urbanisms, it is important not only to investigate new urban processes and kinds of organization, but also to re-evaluate the methodologies by which we intervene in urban systems and spaces. The traditional tools of the urbanist are the capital project and the contract document; the capital project originates with a major initial capital investment by a party other than the designer (usually either a public agency or a private investor), while contract documents are used to define the terms of production and maintenance of a capital project.

“ Tactical urbanism uses the city as a site of experimentation, deploying pop-up parks, vacant retail reuse, or unsanctioned street furniture as way to reprogram the urban realm. The practice traditionally takes an activist position in relationship to environmental, political, cultural and economic factors. However, as the practice is increasingly being absorbed into mainstream thinking on cities, it is critical that we look closely at both the underlying assumptions and resulting effects” ~ Mimi Zeiger ( City Sessions @ IfUD )As first phase of intelligent cities is implemented, how do notions of comfort and security play out in the dialogue with our urban context?.
