Professor Carlo Ratti "The SENSEable City"
Update: 2011-08-31
Description
ABSTRACT:
The real-time city is now real! The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics in recent years is allowing a new approach to the study of the built environment. The way we describe and understand cities is being radically transformed – alongside the tools we use to design them and impact on their physical structure.
