Communication
|
The aim of the network is to examine and analyze
communication environments of the modern world. Specifically, the network
focuses on the Information Technology (IT) rich environments and their influence
on behavior in virtual and physical environments. The increasing development of
convergent technology, in which a variety of media are integrated in a single
platform or protocol has enormous implications both on the nature of community
and planning, but also upon the relationship of individuals within a global
network. With the development of the "wired" or "smart" city, the increasing
role of telecommuting, the ambiguity of "public" and "private" space, the rise
of cyberspace and virtual environments, the spatial and ecological consequences
require the attention of planners, designers, and architects. |
