Op 28 april vindt de Digital Culture Logs lezing 'What is design in the open data society?' plaats met spreker Daniel Cardoso Llach.

Digital Culture Logs is a “research by conversation” series, launched by the Theory of Architecture and Digital Culture Group at TU Delft, to explore the impact of open data on design and society. The aim is to initiate an interdisciplinary dialogue on what we called “Design Data Literacy” across scales reflecting the spatial and social impact of data on bodies, buildings, and cities, e.g. the algorithmization of cultural techniques, the relevance of computer vision for design, or the importance of open data for society. We invite researchers and practitioners working in cultural and media history, theory of technology, art, architecture, computer vision,  and archival research at the intersection of design and society.

Cardoso Llach’s work explores problems ranging from social and cultural aspects of automation in design, the politics of representation and participation in software, and new methods for using data to visualize design as a socio-technical phenomenon. His recent research includes a book on the cultural history of Computer-Aided Design and numerically controlled machinery that examines how postwar technological projects shaped conceptions of design informing current architectural practices: Builders of the Vision: Software and the Imagination of Design (Routledge, 2015).
