| [Nettime-nl] Programming for Cities, workshop, Amsterdam |
Workshop: Programming for Cities date/time: Friday December 3rd, 3 pm Place: Public Space With A Roof Overtoom 301 1054 HW Amsterdam The Netherlands Free admission program: Programming for Cities "Programming for Cities" is a workshop that reinforces a long existing link between code and architecture. Many fine buildings can be reduced to a few lines of code, and a quick glance backward in time shows that is a consequence of architectural theory. This workshop will start with a short but broad overview of this longstanding connection between programming and architecture. After this the basic elements (about 6 of them) of programming will be discussed. The main part of the workshop will be consisting of a hand-on approach to design a city from code. Technical skills are not needed for this workshop. No Computers will be used. This workshop is ideal precisely for those people who think that programming is not for them. Apart from making people familiar with code, which might break the ice in actually learning a more conventional programming language, the purposes of this workshop is to show a method of design that is driven by internal logic instead of the 'one damn bit after another' approach more commonly used. "Programming for Cities" is given by Wilfried Hou Je Bek, of socialfiction.org, who has a long history in developing computational systems without traditional hardware. relevant links: Algorithmic Walks: http://socialfiction.org/psychogeography Pedestrians can be Computers too: http://socialfiction.org/dotwalk Artificial Intelligence with Doors: http://socialfiction.org/doors.html Computers and Architecture have the same Origin: http://socialfiction.org/sun.html ===== * no fratsen * http://socialfiction.org http://socialfiction.org/onlyone http://socialfiction.org/blog __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
