built environment and ubicomp
• requires a new way of thinking about the design and use of ubicomp systems
• urban areas greatest opportunities
and strongest needs
• no fundamental theory, methods for designing pervasive systems as integral
elements of the urban landscape

space syntax, cities and ubicomp
• cities and buildings are never simply the inert background of our material
existence• urban areas are independent entities
with a life of their own• built environment reproduces social
relations and structures or generates new social relationships and structures

space syntax analysis
research objectives• to develop a methodology, design principles
and techniques for designing city-scale pervasive systems as integral facets of urban
design• to address the challenges presented by the
implementation, deployment, use and evaluation of pervasive systems (long-term,
city-scale)

space syntax analysis
specific research objectives• to understand the nature of the city and of its
relationship with society• to understand the role of urban heritage in the
construction of society and social structures • to understand the complex relationship between
pervasive technologies, urban space and society• to investigate the impact of the deployment on heritage and on local people’s and visitors’ use
of and relationship with space

• revisiting initial research

conclusions
• multidisciplinary approach• provide a better understanding of the built
environment– interface for social relations and ubicomp
technologies– configurations of spaces, technologies and
people• design ubicomp systems as integral
parts of the urban landscape
