Technology has risen as a driving force defining new urban developments and government’s decisions. Cities have started to implement technology at different scales, providing more accurate models describing its functions, organization and relationships among their parts. In our digitally connected and overpopulated cities, Public Spaces are being redefined in their consistency. Issues such as security, accessibility, segregation, privatisation, contamination or equality to name a few, affect the essential function of public spaces as community revitalizers and challenge people to find alternative physical or digital spaces with similar effects. Technology is emerging as a powerful generator of new digital public spheres, producing a strong impact on the physical shape of the city itself. As new tools and planning strategies rise, designers and urbanists face new challenges. Which are the new functions and configurations that emerge in the Public Space? How do citizens interact with the urban elements and how do those latter perform? The public space is the catalyst for urban renewal in the core of cities. It is the place where participatory local democracy occurs, where the character of a Society is materialized and where all infrastructure networks that connect the City functional nodes come together. If the public space we inhabit today follows principles/protocols of the Industrial revolution, the Information society is boosting the emergence of new protocols for the design and performance of the various elements of Public Space. New modes of interaction among social, environmental and economic agents can be fostered through the redefinition of the Public Space. How do we design and inhabit it? How does it perform? What does it produce? The Responsive Cities 2017 Call focuses on the applications and implications of new technologies in the dynamic sphere of public spaces. The specific focus is placed on the advancements of technologies of information, interaction and fabrication in the redefinition of public space, as catalyst for achieving urban resilience and high quality of life. The symposium is organized around the following topics: DESIGN - urban analytics | physical and digital merge | fabrication protocols | real time data SHARE - citizen participation | ownership | accessibility | sharing economies ADAPT - resilience | new materials | dynamic cycles | environment EXPERIENCE - digital & virtual space | behaviours | gaming | LEARN - raising awareness | testbed for innovation | policies | data flows Symposium organization General chair: Areti Markopoulou Program chairs: Chiara Farinea and Mathilde Marengo Speakers of the event Program Download program PROGRAM_Day 1, November 13th Venue: CaixaForum Barcelona Address: Av. de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, 6-8, 08038 Barcelona 8:00 – 8:30 Participants registration 8:30 – 9:00 Welcome and Introduction Mathilde Marengo / IAAC, Active Public Space Project Valenti Farras / Caixa Forum Barcelona Pilar Conesa / Smart City Expo 9:00 – 09:15 Inaugural Speech Areti Markopoulou – IAAC, Responsive Cities Symposium Chair / Activating Public Space 9:15 – 11:00 Session 1: CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC SPACE Moderator: Mathilde Marengo, IAAC Advanced Architecture Group Speakers: Helle Søholt – Making Cities for People / Sharing Public Space Gala Pin Ferrando – BCN City Council / Governing Public Space Crimson Rose – Burning Man - Community, Participation, Interactivity / Burning” Public Space Round Table Discussion with APS Partner CCEA: Yvette Vasourkova 11:00 – 11:30 Coffee Break 11:30 – 13:00 Session 2: DYNAMIC ECOSYSTEMS IN PUBLIC SPACE Moderators: Chiara Farinea – IAAC Advanced Architecture Group Speakers: Luis Falcón – inAtlas / Datifying Public Space Claudia Pasquero – EcoLogicStudio / Bio-enabling Public Space Aldo Sollazzo – Noumena / Simulating Public Space Enric Batlle – Battle I Roig / Naturalizing Public Space Round Table Discussion with APS Partner UAVV: Andrea Borner 13:00 – 14:00 Brunch break 14:00 – 15:40 Session 3: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PUBLIC SPACE Moderator: Jose Luis de Vicente – Sónar+D Speakers: Nataly Gattegno – Future Cities Lab / Performing Public Space Alexei Novikov – Habidatum / Analysing Public Space Pontus Westerberg – UN-Habitat, Block by Block / Gamifying Public Space Round Table Discussion with APS Partner IAAC: Areti Markopoulou 15:50 – 15:55 Closing Comments 18:30 – 21.00 Active Public Space Exhibition Opening PROGRAM_Day 2, November 14th Venue: Smart City Expo, FIRA Barcelona Address: Av.
