Open Smart Cities I: Open Source Internet of Things - Open Smart Cities I: Open Source Internet of Th... | Observatorio de CENA. "Open Smart Cities I" is the first post of a series of three that address, from the point of view of open source software, several technological areas related to Smart Cities, as the Internet of Things, Cloud, Big Data, or Smart Cities platform of services and applications.
In this post, we make a brief review of the concept of Smart City, and introduce the topic of Internet of Things, wherein we explore the potential of open source technologies (software, hardware and standar). Read this post in Spanish Introduction: What Makes Cities Smart? The EPIC Project (EU Platform for Intelligent Cities) in relation to the Smart City definition notes that the current economic crisis, combined with growing citizen expectations, is increasing the pressure on cities to provide better infrastructure and more efficient services, often for less cost.
Cooperation and information exchange are both key ideas in the Smart City paradigm. Such ideas are shared with the open source movement. 2. 2.1. 2.7 Nanode. Bricoleurbanism. What is a Post-Utopian Urbanism? From the Modernist Utopia to the Postmodern Dystopia: What’s left ? (guest post 2/3) | la dialectique casse des briques. “The [urban] problem is the largest we have ever known.
And we confront an urban wilderness more formidable and resistant and in some ways more frightening than the wilderness faced by the pilgrims or the pioneers.” Senator Robert Kennedy 15 August, 1966 (cited in Yates 1977) Our three-part essay on the definition of a ‘post-utopian urbanism’ began by surveying the four registers according to which Urbanism and Utopia share a common basis, as encoded within the modernist project for the city.
Around the late 1970s-1980s, however, this relationship tended to loosen and was gradually undermined as new divergent dynamics emerged. Put differently, the rupture between Utopia and Urbanism coincided with a dual emergence: of the postmodern in the cultural, aesthetic, and academic fields, on the one hand; and that of more flexible means of capital accumulation, on the other.

2012 top ten: public spaces. Dec 28, 2012 designboom 2012 top ten: public spaces it can be said that the majority of projects built around the world exist for a private owner or cause, and although all projects must certainly havefinancial backing by some source, the public spaces created for general use sometimes exhibit radical ideas and transform infrastructures. public architecture has the unique position – and almost necessity – to be inherently entwined within its context and impact a larger population usually performing perfunctory daily tasks, such as walking to the store or relaxing at a park. at times they are constructed to provide a new activity, other times only to enhance an existing one, and then there are cases where public space can offer a new perspective or simply a fun placeto be. we take a look at the public projects built in 2012: accessible to everyone, often times the subject of criticism, but nevertheless impact the community as a whole. 1.
