[Workshop M4]

Objects and Spaces, Re-Design
James Teng

This workshop is bringing interested researchers and designers together to examine how information and computing technologies might change the relationships among human, objects, and spaces. With the introduction of concepts of ambient intelligence, ubiquitous computing and tangible interface, participants of the workshop will work on the theme of "memory of spaces." We ask questions like: What is the definition of "memory of a space?" How might we enable a space to have its memory? How might the memory be presented to the inhabitants of the space in a meaningful way? How does this idea change the design of smart objects and spaces? At the end of the workshop we expect to present the outcome of discussion in the form of design cases with posters.
