SYMPOSIUM: SERVECITY - LIVING AND WORKING IN THE INTERACTIVE CITY ||

Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, October 12th to 13th October 2001 ||

Services were considered to be the future of urban development in the 20th 
century. || Now interactive media rationalise the service sector. || They 
change our habitual patterns of communication, of space and time. || The 
spatial urban structure of the 20th century, the separation of working and 
living, of private and public is eroding. || How is urban space 
transformed, when the work place becomes ubiquitous, when services like 
finances and retail business turn into e-commerce, when private households 
are digitalised, when the private house becomes the place for working and 
everybody can create his or her own public sphere? || What will be the 
design of this collisions? ||
These questions will be subject to discussion on an international symposium 
addressing design and architecture, planning cultural studies, 
communication theory and economy. || The symposium marks the beginning of 
the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation´s annual program 2001 / 2002, ServeCity. ||
