Pixel Spaces: Behind the Scenes
Dave Pape/USA, EVL Electronic Visualization Laboratory/USA
What will our cities look like when we will be really able to communicate with any person from any place? Which factors will be deciding if a city can maintain its position as economic, cultural and civil center? Anthony Townsend – who is the expert for Urbanism in the nominating committee of the category 'Net Vision/Net Excellence' – is searching for answers to these questions. Townsend is Associate Research Scientist at NYU's Taub Urban Research Center. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Urban Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and holds a Master of Urban Planning Degree from New York University's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. In his latest paper, The Science of Location: Why the Wireless Development Community Needs Geography he argues for an engagement of wireless developers with the 'professions of location' (geography, urban planning, and architecture) whose task it is to understand and design the places in which we live, work, and play.
