Social Fiction presents a provocatively-titled workshop: Programming Cities. From the description: “Programming for Cities” is a workshop that reinforces a long existing link between code and architecture.
“Many fine buildings can be reduced to a few lines of code, and a quick glance backward in time shows that is a consequence of architectural theory.
This workshop will start with a short but broad overview of this longstanding connection between programming and architecture. After this the basic elements (about 6 of them) of programming will be discussed. The main part of the workshop will be consisting of a hand-on approach to design a city from code.”
This sounds like a fascinating project… If only there were more!
