Como sobreviver na cidade "senciente" do futuro? Projeto de Mark Shepard já resenhado aqui nesse Carnet (via Digital Urban: The Sentient City Survival Kit) propõe soluções. Vejam abaixo o vídeo explicativo do projeto que reúne as inquietações da minha pesquisa:
Vejam também sobre esse tema, sensores dispostos em cidades européias para medir padrões de uso da cidade (de bike, a pé, etc.) no post do Pasta&Vinegar, Lift seminar @ lift offices. Abaixo imagens da cidades "senciente":
Sensores nas ciclovias em Marseille
Medindo fluxo de pedestres em Barcelona usando sensores com Bleutooth.
Há referências a outros projetos já destacados nesse Carnet como o Citysense e o RealTime Rome. Descrição do evento:
"We discussed the large variety of data that are generated on top of the physical environment and their opportunities in terms of representations, analyses and services. When it comes to digital data, one can talk about 'traces' but I will left the term 'urban traces' out of the discussion because this discussion can applied to situations that go beyond the city context (suburbs, countryside?). This event was part of the urban informatics workshop series Fabien and have been running."

Para finalizar esse post mais uma forma de medir a "sensibilidade" das cidades. Trata-se do uso de fotos com geolocalização valorizando cores em determinadas zonas urbanas (via Data Mining). Ha uma justaposição de fotos ressaltando as cores mais evidentes do lugar. Mais informações aqui:
"By positioning the pictures in space and analyzing them for colour distribution, then taking a function of the colours of pictures in the same area, some quality of the location as a function of photographs, emerges. (...)"
"This is not simply a map of the colors on the ground, which you can get from an aerial photo or systematic documentation like Google Street View, but rather a map of the colors that people on the ground are looking at."
Eventos discutem a relação das tecnologias locativas e o espaço urbano. Vejam abaixo vídeo sobre evento Next City em NY (há outros vídeos no link), sobre mapas...
"The exhibition continues the League's commitment to supporting original research into the implications of ubiquitous/pervasive computing for architecture and urbanism. In fall 2006, the League, along with the Center for Virtual Architecture and the Institute for Distributed Creativity [iDC], presented 'Architecture and Situated Technologies,' a 3-day symposium organized by Omar Khan, Trebor Scholz, and Mark Shepard, that brought together researchers and practitioners from art, architecture, technology and sociology to explore the emerging role of Situated Technologies in the design and inhabitation of the contemporary city. The project continued in winter 2007 with the publication 'Urban Computing and Its Discontents,' the first of nine pamphlets to be published over the next three years that explores how our experience of the city and the choices we make in it are affected by mobile communications, pervasive media, ambient informatics and other Situated Technologies."
