I’m giving a short conceptual workshop at the Oslo School of Architecture today. These are some notes and links for the students.

Physical / virtual space

• Mapping services (Google Maps, OpenStreetMap)
• Geotagging virtual objects with physical coordinates (Flickr maps
• Tagging physical space (Cybsticker, Yellow arrow)
• RFID

New social spaces

• Networks created by cell phones & personal communication devices (Mobile Landscape Graz)
• Social networking services (Flickr, del.icio.us, Underskog)
• Blogs, Myspace
• Intranets, closed bulletin boards

Computational design for public space

• Allows mapping between physical and virtual space
• Allows memory, analysis and interactive response
• Time-based experiences (Drawing Machine 1-12)
• Media facades (BIX, Uniqa Tower)
• Computational objects (Openburble)
