MEDIA ARCHITECTURE 2007 Conference

The Impact of Large Scale Integrated Displays on Architecture and Urbanism

The conference will bring together international speakers from the
architecture, planning and media communities for the first time to address
the increasing integration of new display technologies for building
construction. The media façade becomes a data system to be specified and
commissioned with the expectation of lifetime and maintenance commensurate
with other structural elements. The digital content is very different from
both the rectangular clip material now common on LED billboards and from
programmed lighting effects. The huge impact of this development for
building design and the urban environment will be explored from theoretical
and implementation perspectives by leaders in the field. 


ASPECTS ADRESSED:

­ the impact on architectural theory of practical media façade systems

­ departure of imagery from the confines of the clip towards dynamic
creative 
based on building management and external information

­ the practical challenges of large scale displays for urban planning;
display viewing design in public spaces

­ sustainable display and image data systems that can be specified directly
by architects and installed by the construction industry and which are
maintainable over the lifetime of a media façade
