Data as architecture
In the Air is a visualisation of microscopic and invisible agents in Madrid´s air (http://www.intheair.es)
With only 6 entries in Google at time of writing, ‘data as architecture’ is either a mistake of my tourist-mind, or it opens a new way of thinking about the convergence of the physical and the virtual. Now that the field of data visualisation is rapidly taking over the world (have a look at the New York Times’ VizLab, Stamen and Visualizar), it is possible to add layers of information to spaces that interact with its occupants.
For De Verdieping, the cultural addon of Trouw, Non-fiction is looking for brave new ideas for data visualisations in the context of architecture, media, art and politics.
Please get in touch with juha at non-fiction.nl, or just post a comment. Thank you very much in advance.
Data as architecture – sounds fair enough. There are actually a lot of data visualizations that share this line of thought… Check this out.
I’d love to meet up anytime soon about a good talk about data visualization, I have spoken to James a few times recently; I guess you work together on this epic plan…? haha
Aww, the pre-Version VI Imprezas are great, especially the old Coupes <3 and with those big ahecrs (like the 22B) and gold Speedlines ^.^ Soooo pretty!My mate has an E100 Corolla hatch (Euro spec) So not the WRC shape one, but nevertheless, it was white, so he added a Castrol livery, TTE stickers, Michelin stickers, and some smart 15 6-spoke Speedlines Now THATS a sweet first car, especially considering insurance is crazy on your first car in the UK!
Works well! It is not obvious, thoguh. Will new users know to click on the yellow bubble or time stamp?Within the thread itself, perhaps you can put the same yellow bubble next to the title of the thread to keep things consistent? Maybe a yellow bubble with a down arrow?
Hi Edial, I do work with James on this. Let’s have coffee this week, I will track you down.
Thanks for the link, will have a look.
Sounds good, looking forward to that! I’ll be in Brussels for DNA 2009 Wednesday and Thursday though
DNA looks good, wish I could join you. Maybe you have time to come to Kode9 on Friday at Trouw. 9 is high grade carrier of the hyperdub virus, someone you may not miss. I can buy you a beer there.
Great initiative to turn De Verdieping into a reactive environment. In spite of data viz creeping into mainstream culture I really wonder how people could participate and be social at the same time without being alienated from the interactive space or each other.
For more than 20 years Muriel Coopers Visual language workshop at MIT shaped an enormous legacy of data visualization research with a strong focus on immersive information display. One of the former MIT research assistants Lisa Strausfeld explains her contribution to the MOMA exhibition “Design and the Elastic Mind” here and gives a brief insight into her research.
There must be a huge body of work though it seems to be poorly documented. More pointers anybody?
Thanks Alex, good one. Will have a read when I wake up. Time for bed now.
@Juha I might just be there Friday, haha
Great!
the phrase has been sloshing round in my mind ever since I saw it – strikes me that as a phrase it is interesting because it has so many implications. Possibly more so in terms of convergence of different disciplines within the world of statistics (owing to the fact that this is essentially the language of the computer) than necessarily proposing a new architectural or formal model itself. But for me this is the real beauty of the phrase, in that it opens up a discussion to be had on the many implied issues of resemblance that data allows for… Juha opens up yet another door… count me in!
Phenomenal barekdown of the topic, you should write for me too!
Your post has moved the detbae forward. Thanks for sharing!
Manhattan is a built chart, where the building height is in a direct relation to the ground cost. So there’s a lot of data already hidden in architecture, but not it’s always clear how to read it.
following all the links above I arrive at this magisterial quote by Archigram: “when it’s raining in Oxford Street the architecture is no more important than the rain” – amen
You have shed a ray of ssunhnie into the forum. Thanks!
hassan Posted on You can name your blog on your own name like miror, one thing more, you should name it rcocading to your interest.
Thank you all for your contributions. Not only via comments but also by e-mail this topic has created some insightful feedback.

@krhoustaliov Nice quote, I wrote a post called ‘When form carries information’ which touches the same mindset I think.
There are so many things you can derive data from when you are in a physical space, things as light, movements, paths, heat, speed, colors – you name it. There is loads of information that can be used for a data visualization… I think this can be a very (VERY) interesting project…
I shall invite you all for a beer at de Verdieping to discuss this soon. Cheers!
Heckuva good job. I sure aprpeciate it.
One should look up the term “datatecture”!
One will certainly do that. Thank you Andrew, nice to see you here.
Last week I had a meeting with Amsterdam City Archives to talk about a proposed project to map Amsterdam realtime via all the social networks and other flowing data available. We will work further on this project and hope to present something at De Verdieping soon.

Dear Dr. Kristi,My coworker aalwys wants to play chess, chat about some cool web site, or show me some youtube video when I am trying to work. How do I nicely either tell them to let me work, or quickly put up with their interrupting banter.
Thank you very much for these Northen Kings recordings. With this aaorpch as presenting well-known tunes in a totally different way and creating something really good calls up Vanilla Fudge as a comparisonm do you think?Talking about significant Finnish rock, I have to mention Hidria Spacefolks. Do you know this band? I’m sure, you would like it (Ozric Tentacles could be mentioned as something similar, if I were forced to chose one). If you were considering a series from them, the community of your blog surely would love it.Sincerely yours,Thalamus
