“Together, let us desire, conceive and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painFng – in one unity.” Walter Gropius, 1919



His mission: “an architecture to embrace a living radionic universe, as opposed to the sta7c, materialis7c composi7ons” (le@er 1931)

“Our capacity to imagine, and to fuse it with experience and memory, that’s is our mental world, defines the space we live in. This ‘lived space’ is radically different from physical and geometrical space. ExistenFal space is structured on the basis of meanings and values projected on it by an individual or group, either consciously or unconsciously.” Juhani Pallasmaa Oase, nr. 58, 2002



Technologie, acceptaFe en implementaFe •  “De techniek is geen instrument meer, maar geef acFef mede vorm aan

wie wij zijn en wat de werkelijkheid voor ons is. De Fjd van het humanisme – van de vrije, autonome, op zichzelf

staande mens – is voorbij. Wij kunnen alleen nog op technische wijze mens zijn.” Peter-‐Paul Verbeek. Hoogleraar Filosofie Mens & Techniek TU-‐Twente.

Brueghel, Landscape with the fall of Icarus. (ca. 1588)


“it is only human choice that makes the world funcFon; technology can moFvate human choice, but not replace it”. Jaron Lanier. ‘You are not a gadget’ , 2010

“we should seek a future where more people will do well, without losing liberty, even as technology gets be@er, much be@er.” Jaron Lanier, ‘Who owns the future’, 2013


1 : the Internet of Things (IoT) refers to uniquely idenFfiable objects and their virtual representaFons in an Internet-‐like structure.

ref. : h@p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things

2 : the Internet of Things connects things (objects) to the internet. 3 : Internet of Everything, People ? or, the integraFon of the physical world with the virtual world of the internet.

what is the Internet of Things?


history: 1.  RFID: Radio Frequency IdenFficaFon 2.  in 1991 Mark Weiser (chief scienFst at Xerox Parc) publishes

“the Computer for the 21st. Century” The idea was to take the connecFvity out of the computer and put it in the very fabric of our clothes, homes, ciFes, so the environment will become the interface:

“make the computer disappear”

2.  in 1996 Kevin Ashton coined the term Internet of Things in 1999.

Before this the principle was known as Ambient Intelligence, Ubicomp, pervasive compuFng, etc. since 2000 the ‘Cloud’ enables IoT.


According to Cisco: what Is the Internet of Things? ‘The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects accessed through the Internet, as defined by technology analysts and visionaries. These objects contain embedded technology to interact with internal states or the external environment. In other words, when objects can sense and communicate, it changes how and where decisions are made, and who makes them.’

ref.: h@p://www.cisco.com/web/soluFons/trends/iot/overview.html


IoT definiFons: •  “The development of item idenFficaFons, sensor technologies and the ability

to interact with the environment will create an internet of things.” ITU-‐T, 2005

•  “A dynamic global network infrastructure with self configuring capabiliFes based on standard and interoperable communicaFon protocols where physical and virtual ‘things’ have idenFFes, physical a@ributes, and virtual personaliFes and use intelligent interfaces, and are seamlessly integrated into the informaFon network” IERC, 2009.

•  “a worldwide network of uniquely addressable interconnected objects, based on standard communicaFon protocols” EPoSS, 2008

•  “a global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects through the exploitaFon of data capture and communicaFon capabiliFes. This infrastructure includes exisFng and evolving Internet and network developments. It will offer specific object-‐idenCicaFon, sensor and connecFon capability as the basis for the development of independent cooperaFve services and applicaFons. “ Casagras, 2009.

‘Internet of Things (IoT) enables the things/objects in our environment to be acFve parFcipants, i.e., they share informaFon with other stakeholders or members of the network; wired/wireless, ofen using the same Internet Protocol (IP) that connects the Internet. In this way the things/objects are capable of recognizing events and changes in their surroundings and are acFng and reacFng autonomously largely without human intervenFon in an appropriate way.’ IERC PosiFon Paper, 2014, IntroducFon


•  In 2000 there were 6 billion people on earth. 500 million devices connected to the internet.

•  In 2011 there were 7 billion people on earth.

13 billion objects connected.

In 2015 there will be 7,5 billion people on earth and 22 billion connected objects.

“Myth 1: IoT is a technology IoT is a concept, not a technology you’d buy of the shelf.” (K. Swaminathan/Accenture, 2012

‘It’s not a single technology, it’s a concept.’ IERC Newsle@er, Oct.2012

h@p://publicaFons.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/111111111/30547

In the IoT-‐scenario, ‘everything’ becomes smart: smart energy, smart health, smart buildings, smart transport, smart living, smart ciFes. (Vermesan et al. 2011.But to what does ’smart’ correspond in terms of societal challenges? (..) By what ethics will humans (things) relate to the rest of the (non-‐human) things? (p.8)



In 2015 an operaFonal definiFon of Internet of Things (IoT) is the seamless data flow between the •  BAN (body area network): the ambient hearing aide, the smart t-‐shirt, Glass •  LAN (local area network): the smart meter as a home interface •  WAN (wide area network): TelemaFcs, ITS, Connected Car •  VWAN (very wide area network): the smart city as e-‐gov services

everywhere no longer Fed to physical locaFons

“The true value of the Internet of Things does not lie with enabling things, but in shifing emphasis toward design innovaFon, along with greater integraFon of human culture, creaFvity and intelligence into what we consider the Internet of Things.” Lorna Goulden, InnovaFon Consultant www.techopedia.com , March 2014.

“What is the place of humans in a ‘new society’ where ‘thinking objects’ dominate and gradually conquer their autonomy?” Gerald Santucci, Former Head of Unit ‘Enterprise Networking and RFID’ at EC.


“We have entered a new phase of the informaFon age, a phase where the hybridisaFon between bits and other forms of reality is so deep that it radically changes the human condiFon in profound ways.”

(Onlife IniFaFve, 2013)

SubFtle: ‘Being Human in a Hyperconnected Era.’



The ever-‐increasing pervasiveness of ICTs shakes established reference frameworks through the following transformaFons: a. the blurring of the disFncFon between reality and virtuality; b. the blurring of the disFncFons between human, machine and nature; c. the reversal from informaFon scarcity to informaFon abundance; and d. the shif from the primacy of enFFes to the primacy of interacFons. The world is grasped by human minds through concepts: percepFon is necessarily mediated by concepts, as if they were the interfaces through which reality is experienced and interpreted. Concepts provide an understanding of surrounding realiFes and a means by which to apprehend them. However, the current conceptual toolbox is not fi@ed to address new ICT-‐related challenges and leads to negaFve projecFons about the future: we fear and reject what we fail to make sense of and give meaning to.

so: we need Concept Re-‐engineering from: the Onlife Manifesto, preface, the Onlife IniFaFve, EC, 2013

“An architect should conceive of a new house not as mere walls and roof with a heaFng and cooling system, but as a living organism with the reacFvity of a full-‐blooded creature. The house is not a digesFve apparatus. Man is a nucleus of natural forces, living in emoFons and dreams, through the medium of his physique. Every millimeter of his physical environment is inspiraFon, not merely mechanical contact.” Friedrich Kiesler, ParFsan Review, 1949.

The Living City, Archigram 1963



Plug-‐In City, Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Dennis Crompton 1964-‐1966


Constant, New Babylon. 1959-‐1968

Tomas Saraceno, In Orbit, 2013


“The climatic conditions (..) are all under technical control. Inside, a variable range of climates can be created and modified at will. Climate becomes an important element in the play of ambience, all the more so since the technical apparatus is accessible to everybody and the decentralisation (of distribution) encourages a certain autonomy of the sector or groups of sectors.(..) The fluctuating world of sectors calls on facilities (a transmitting and receiving network) that are both decentralised and public. Given the participation of a large number of people in the transmission and reception of images and sounds, perfected telecommunications become an important factor in ludic social behaviour.” .

From: Constant, “New Babylon, een schets voor een kultuur”, orgin. in German, publ.1974.

The City as an Intersubjec6ve Field of Rela6ons. “We must imagine a net of relaFons among human beings, an “intersubjecFve field of relaFons”. The threads of this net should be seen as channels through which informaFon like representaFons, feelings, intenFons, or knowledge flows. The threads knot themselves together provisionally and develop into what we call human subjects. The totality of the threads consFtues the concrete lifeworld, and the knots therein are abstract extrapolaFons.” Vilém Flusser, The City as Wave-‐Through in the Image Flood. 1988.



“Architecture is the record of a process, not the result of a process” Peter Eisenman.


In de bouwwereld wordt BIM steeds vaker genoemd als iets wat iedereen zou moeten doen. Maar wat is BIM eigenlijk? BIM -‐ Building InformaFon Modelling We kennen de theorie: BIM is een model waarin alle gegevens voor ontwerp-‐, bouw-‐ en beheerproces zijn geïntegreerd en waarmee door alle betrokken wordt gewerkt. Maar wat kun je er eigenlijk allemaal mee?

2.2 Wonder, power, control and urgency; the standard imaginaries of innova6on.

“Power is related to the possibility of of enhancing our intelligence and our capacity to effecFvely act on our surrroundings by hybridising and networking bio-‐physical, digital and virtual systems into common informaFon spaces.” Agency in the Internet of Things, p.14 EC, 2013


Neri Oxman, MIT


“we must see all objects, including the ‘I’ and individual building components , as actors, as acFve players in a parametric world.” Kas Oosterhuis, Towards a New Kind of Building, 2011


Cyber-‐Physical Systems, or CPS; “Cyber-‐Physical Systems (CPS) are integraFons of computaFon, networking, and physical processes. Embedded computers and networks monitor and control the physical processes, with feedback loops where physical processes affect computaFons and vice versa.” See: h@p://cyberphysicalsystems.org/

Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-‐tech strategy of the German government, which promotes the computerizaFon of tradiFonal industries such as manufacturing.[1] The goal is the intelligent factory (Smart Factory), which is characterized by adaptability, resource efficiency and ergonomics as well as the integraFon of customers and business partners in business and value processes.[2] [3] Technological basis are cyber-‐physical systems and the Internet of Things.[

“What they (i.e. digital technologies / mp) are doing , through the transmission of informaFon, is triggering real, live-‐events that involve a qualitaFve transformaFon” Brian Massumi in an interview with Thomas Markussen, 2006

“It (i.e. ‘constructed space’, mp) also exists as the sudden proliferaFon and the incessant mulFplicaFon of special effects which, along with the consciousness of Fme and of distances, affect the percepFon of the environment” Paul Virilio Lost Dimension, 2012


“How can the new tools available to the architect bring people together – not only to inhabit, but to change, augment, and ulFmately create the environment around them?” Carlo RaA Open Source Architecture, 2015
