How does big data visualize the value of cultural interaction? Can we measure the transformational effects of social and cultural behavior?

SENSING THE CITY BY DANISH DESIGN CENTRE, IDEMOLAB / DELTA AND DOME OF VISIONS

THE LAB
During the course of the lab, participants will work to collect, interpret and visualize data to finally produce a physical, digital, electronic or bodily data-visualisation that tells a story about the Dome of Visions and the people who use it.

CASE: DOME OF VISIONS
“Digital humanities – Exploring the link between digital technology and humanities”

The Dome of Visions project is about putting action into words and following through on new ideas in construction and urban thinking and planning. The dome is intended specially to inspire and to challenge regarding the solutions for the climate challenges to come. The Dome of Visions, a temporary, cross-disciplinary cultural venue in Copenhagen, has compiled climate data that registers temperature, humidity and Co2 in the building. This data, can help us analyze the atmospheric reactions to events and physical activities at the venue.

How can new technologies ‘hack’ into a given place and improve that place? Analysing behavior data and challenging the way, we use the city by creating temporary meeting points – virtual or physical.

THE LAB
In Hacking the City Lab we will focus on three main areas of Vester Voldgade – The City Hall Square, Stormgade and the square in front of Den Classenske Legatskole. During the course of the lab, participants will work to collect, interpret and visualize data to finally create the concept of a digital-physic installation that will encourage tourists to actively be a part of the urban environment of Vester Voldgade.

CASE: VESTER VOLDGADE
A conversion of Vester Voldgade in 2013 has reduced traffic, enhanced the boulevard atmosphere, adding rows of trees, new open spaces and wide promenades, and giving pedestrians priority on what was once a very busy stretch.The object of converting Vester Voldgade was to create a pleasant promenade, which would be attractive to residents, visitors and tourists, creating an urban buzz with space for play, meeting points, shops and culture. However the conversion has not attracted a great number of new pedestrians to the area. Within the next couple of years new cultural institutions such as Bryghusgrunden and the City Museum will be part of the area now called The Cultural District. How do we prepare the area for its new role as cultural district? Can we divert tourist flow from the busy area around The City Hall Square even before the cultural institutions have moved into the area?

Come by for at morning talk and hear about two smart city cases about observing the solutions in action and the smart city Seestadt Aspern.

In 2014, the first Urban Lakeside residents moved into their new homes. By 2016 there’ll be 2,600 housing units for some 6,100 people, and a 50,000 sqm lake surrounded by the lakeside park, a shopping street, underground/metro and tram links.

Today, Aspern is Austria’s largest construction site. In several phases over the next 20 years, a city for the 21st century will take shape in Vienna’s 22nd municipal district on an area equivalent to 340 football pitches, accommodating high-quality living environment for some 20,000 people plus about the same number of workplaces.
