appeared on netnews. It's late, but I thought some of you might have missed
it. Anyway, here it is... Howard

>From June 23rd to June 25th the First International Global Village
Symposium is taking place at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning,
University of Technology, Vienna. The main topics are the influence of
telecommunication technologies on both architecture and town-planning.
In addition to the 20 talks from various fields that will be held at the
symposium a telecommunications workshop will show recent videoconferncing
and workgroup technologies. As part of this workshop internet will be
used as a platform for a
G L O B A L V I L L A G E B R A I N S T O R M I N G
on the following five issues:
ISSUE A: Will TTs (Telecommunication Technologies) result in the
creation
of a decentralized global network of smaller independent units (Global
Village Scenario) or in the creation of a few centers of economic and
political power (Global City Scenario) ?
ISSUE B: Through fibre to the home TTs make working, shopping
etc.possible
without a need for a change of location. Will this potential actually
lead to a global reduction of traffic ?
ISSUE C: Will TTs change theory and practice of democracy ?
ISSUE D: TTs make many human activities
largely independent from the built environment. Is this the end of the
role of architecture as - interpretation and initiation of human
activities -
(Louis Sullivan) ?
ISSUE E: Which radical changes to existing building types (e.g. office
buildings or schools) and which new building types can we expect to
result from TTs ?
The results of the brainstorming will be integrated with video and
soundclips in a hypermedia document that will be produced in the course of
the symposium. We invite you to participate in the brainstorming and to
pass this information to whatever people you think it may concern. Every
participant will receive the compiled results of the brainstorming either
as text or in a hyperText - Format (see Appendix).
Our intention is to show which intensity of discussion and amount of
information about a topic can be achieved via global communication within
three days. If the results are encouriging enough we consider to extend the
discussion together with partner institutions.
