–

Today the digital is ubiquitous across all disciplines connected with 
life in cities: urban history, architecture, planning, art, design, 
media, communications, and more. Examples abound.

As the Western world comes to deeper understandings of its heritage in 
the 21st Century, technology is ever more present in our reading of the 
past. Data mapping is standard in conservation and social history. 
Archaeologists use digital tools in geophysics, laser scanning, and 
compositional analysis. Landscape and architectural visualizations 
populate museums across the world. In architecture, computational design 
uses algorithms to replicate biology. Coding produces self-generated 
architectural form. Information modeling presents planners with 
interactive design in real time. The city is seen as ‘smart’.

In film and animation, digital models create fictitious places on scales 
unimagined. Installation artists make space interactive through 
digitising motion, sound and heat. Projection mapping allows artists to 
reinterpret the past in-situ. Photographers use digital cameras to 
document city stories. Marketing, technology and communication mediates 
the city experience 24/7. In every field, educators are responding.

As the tools we use today merge and blur across disciplines, this 
conferences asks educators and professionals to consider the following. 
How can we best manage, direct and utilize the unique potentialities of 
this interdisciplinary and technological moment? Are we rethinking 
objects of art and design from the past and future? Are we reconsidering 
modes of communication, styles of teaching and ways of living? Are we 
seeing new links between designed objects, visualized spaces and 
cultural meanings? Are we understanding creative, documentary and media 
practices in new ways? Are we developing our own knowledge through the 
technologies, tools or thinking of other disciplines?

Based on this interdisciplinary approach, the conference welcomes 
educators and professionals in:

Architecture, Urban design, History, Archaeology, Heritage, Art, Design, 
Technology, Communications, Media, Film, Cultural studies, Pedagogy

.
