Digital Democracy

“If architecture is to continue to respond to the affordances of technological innovation that surrounds it as a profession, then we may no longer ask “What is that building?”, or “How was it made?”, but rather, “What does that building do?”
(Fox & Kemp, 2009)

INFORM ENGAGE EMPOWER

A digital future where we are constantly monitored via all aspects of data capture is a very scary thought, but it seems in the last 2 years this idea has become reality. No longer can we go about our daily lives without being watched and monitored in one form or other. The control of this data and information surrounding its usage is very confusing and not communicated. There is no level of control over the rights and wrongs of how it should and could be used and no public interaction is offered.

This thesis is a user responsive data analytical machine, giving users “public and industry” power to program the city, learn and debate. Giving freedom back to data and allowing people to have a voice and action towards their data.
