<paraindent><param>right</param>Subject matter </paraindent>

 


<paraindent><param>right</param>TeleCity: How does information and communi=
cation technology (ICT) change urban   
spaces? Projects are being sought for the International Bauhaus Award whic=
h deal  
with  the interfaces between people and technology =96 human/ICT interface=
s =96 or with 
 space  and technology in an urban context. Leaving aside futurological hy=
pe and  
apocalyptic  phobias, the projects should focus on the complex interweavin=
g of real  
worlds and virtual  worlds and the impact they have on urban space and urb=
an public  
life. Irrespective of  whether the entry concerns a built project, an arch=
itectural design 
 or urban design, a  performance, artwork, academic research, a study, con=
cept or  
essay, the most important  thing is that it should focus on changes in urb=
an structures  
caused by ICT. </paraindent>
