virtual dschungle 6: e-motion @ e-home? A panel discussion for cineastes Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - Podium Panel Discussion: Wednesday 13 June 2007, 7pm Tickets: Admission free! Discussion in German, unfortunately there is no English translation. The Az W is showing utopias on film relating to the term 'smart houses' in a critical but also ironic investigation of new spatial concepts. Film footage from the 1920s to the present day address key issues involved. Media-based communicative space already supplements architectural space to a considerable extent. The production of space has consequently long ceased to be an issue for architects alone. However this is just a start. At the moment digital technology is beginning to permeate what had remained largely untouched throughout the whole history of architecture until now, i.e. the infrastructure, the structure of buildings. Even building materials are progressively being made accessible to digital technology. Computers are disappearing from view, and being integrated into the substance of the building itself. A setting is being created where 'the computer' exists ubiquitously in the background. This leads to an ambivalent scenario of digital technology that is available everywhere at any time, coupled with proactive and surveillance functionality. This enables spaces to adapt automatically to meet changing requirements – without users' having to change their own location. Is technically autonomous architecture really desirable? What level of comfort is worth implementation? Should one picture the house of the future as a walk-in computer, or even as an inverted robot? The panel: Peter Hammerl, Graz University of Technology, Architekturtechnologie, Graz Karin Harrasser, culture theorist with a focus on technologial research, Vienna/Berlin Ludger Hovestadt, Zurich ETH, digital construction, Raumcomputer, Zurich Ludger Hovestadt, Hold of CAAD Chair ETH Zurich Peter Palensky, Vienna University of Technology, Institute of Computer Technology, Vienna Concept and moderated by Oliver Schürer |
