Meipi será Open Source

meipi OPEN S_logo

Cada día nacen nuevos proyectos que hacen de la web un “lugar” más rico. Muchos de estos proyectos duran sólo pocos años, otros consiguen llegar hasta lo más alto y conquistar el “corazón” de los usuarios, como es el caso de facebook o twitter.
Muchas veces pensamos que estos proyectos se desarrollan lejos del territorio español sin embargo también en España nacen y crecen proyectos innovadores muy interesantes. Entre los más conocidos recordamos a “tuenti” (el facebook español) y “panoramio” (comprada por google) y entre los más innovadores se encuentra “eyeos“, nacido en un pueblo de los alrededores de Barcelona e iniciado por unos auténticos y muy jóvenes visionarios.

Towards a new architect: an interview with Carlo Ratti

This post is totally from the “city of soundwritten by Dan Hill

I’ve just finished working with Carlo Ratti and various cohorts on a great little project, which I hope might see the light of day here before too long. In the meantime, I thought I’d post this discussion I had with Carlo late last year, which was recently published in Architectural Review Australia. We met at the Metropolis Congress in Sydney, where Signor Ratti had just given a presentation on his work at the MIT SENSEable City Lab, an outfit whose work I admire hugely, working as they do across many of my interests: interactive architecture, urban informatics, responsive envronments, multidisciplinary design and other implications of real-time networked pervasive information systems for the city.

Architects Ellen Dunham-Jones and June Williamson confront the challenge of redeveloping abandoned suburban retail space in their new book, Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs (Wiley Press, 2009). The detailed text also explores several creative solutions in which progressive planning has reinvigorated suburban communities nationwide. PM spoke to Dunham-Jones about the challenge of replacing dying malls and the culture of the car with pedestrian-centered residential and retail development.

[bracket]: call for entries

Category : ⚐ EN + architecture + internet + urbanism

bracket
[bracket]
is a collaboration of Archinect and InfraNet Lab, and is composed of a collection of diverse editors and an open-source contributing membership.

[bracket] is an annual publication documenting issues overlooked yet central to our cultural milieu that have evolved out of the new disciplinary territory at the intersection of architecture, landscape, urbanism and, now, the internet. It is no coincidence that the professional term architect can also now refer to information architects, and that the word community can also now refer to an online community. [bracket] is a publishing platform for ideas charting the complex overlap of the sphere of architecture and online social spheres.
