first approach to manifesto

The spread of digital technology into urban areas, and with new kinds of spatial and material circumstances, challenges the way designers address interaction between not only the form but also the synthesized experience that results with the site specific context.


for example, a media facade Concept 1 : represents the idea of letting the citizens of Copenhagen interact with the façade of Industriens Hus. By engaging passers-by in an active and playful interaction with a large valve near the main road, that opens and closes for an artistic flow of particles that will pass through vertical displays that intersect and interfere with crossing horizontal displays showing logos.

"Despite its intention as a catalyst for generating a distinct message in the global marketplace, the globalization in the information age has contributed to the growing homogenization of people and places."
(* from JB Jackson response/ Boyoung)

When designing for new settings, like urban areas, it is particularly crucial to get an overview of the key aspects of the space, and how design moves in one area affect the potentials of other parts of the identity of the space.
