“Smart Cities: From Technology to Design” Guest Lecture by Antoine Picon

“Smart Cities: From Technology to Design”
Guest Lecture by Antoine Picon

‘스마트시티’라는 용어가 나온 지 불과 10년이 채 안된 지금, ‘스마트시티’는 디지털 기반의 주요 기업, 스타트업, 해커에서부터 행정가, 정치운동가에 이르기까지 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 이번 강연에서 미국 하버드대 디자인대학원 앙트완 피콘 교수는 ‘스마트시티’ 열풍이 도시, 기술, 사회 간의 관계에 있어 혁신임을 주장하며 도시디자인과 건축 앞에 놓인 새로운 과제들에 대해 이야기하려 한다.

In less than a decade, the term smart cities has become an expression used by a variety of constituencies, major companies of the digital world, mayors and municipal administrations, startups and hackers, political activists. Although the term is often used to promote special interests, this lecture will argue that the rise of the smart city approach represents a true revolution in the relations between cities, technology and society. The rise of the smart city also challenges received approaches to urban design and architecture. The lecture will discuss some of these challenges.

Antoine Picon, is the G. Ware Travelstead Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology and Director of Research at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD). Trained as an engineer, architect, and historian, Picon works on the history of architectural and urban technologies from the eighteenth century to the present. He is also Chairman of the Foundation Le Corbusier.
Begining with his book La Ville territoire des cyborgs (1998), Picon has investigated the changes brought to cities and architecture by the development of digital tools and digital culture. Digital Culture in Architecture: An Introduction for the Design Profession (2010) offers a comprehensive overview of this important transition. Ornament: The Politics of Architecture and Subjectivity (2013) focuses on the “return” of ornament in digital architecture. And his newest book, Smart Cities: A Spatialised Intelligence (2015) discusses the impact of digital culture on cities.
