The concept module is based on the innovative project "Smart Cities - Technological Innovation and the Social Shift" and communicates interdisciplinary views on digitization, from the standpoint of urban and spatial planning, architecture, facility management and mobility management. The focus lies on the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT), technology in housing as well as vicinity structures. The goal is to step out of disciplinary "silo-thinking" and through interdisciplinary group work, do a SWOT-analysis of existing IoT-implementation in housing and neighborhood, as well as developing a Mock-up Dummy (design concept) of a fictional system in housing and neighborhood structures.
Within the concept module we target current trends and create a matrix of wants and needs within heterogeneous society groups in context of technological and economical developments. Digitization in housing is being presented from various perspectives ¿ from standpoint of urban and spatial planning, architecture, sociology, informatics and computer sciences as well as from the standpoint of economy.
By looking at examples from real life we differentiate between housing on rent, cooperative, building assemblies and ownership, and how the implementation of IoT-technologies varies between these structures.
We also differentiate between heterogeneous life styles, wants and needs, inclusive and exclusive aspects of IoT - by looking at examples of AAL (Ambient Assisted Living), senior housing (Silver Society), Smart Homes and behaviors concerning mobility. New, emergent technologies and methods are the main focus of the course.
Aims of the lecture
- How and why (quantifiable factors) are digital systems and and tools, especially within housing being used?
- Which factors facilitate user frequencies, which reduce them?
- What are quantifiable factors and impacts of digitized processes in space production and creation?
- Do we find measurable changes in habitus of living and urban life based on pervasive technologies, and how to we quantify them?
- Which technologies will in the future shape daily housing and which factors does a usability-friendly design have to display?
- Can we measure mobility factors through pervasive technologies and if yes ¿ on which criteria?
