Through significant progress in LED engineering, the past years have witnessed an increasing development of media-facades and media-architecture, which merge buildings and light spots. Buildings thereby increasingly function as media-screens or turn in to animated architecture. Most recent examples in this field include the Bayer headquarter in Leverkusen, the new Ars Electronica Center in Linz or Yasni Hotel in Dubai. Due to the decrease in the price for LEDS and their constant increase in luminosity, one can expect in the next years further progress in this process of fusion, together with its integration into contemporary architecture, but also heated discussions about the usefulness or uselessness of these developments. The Media Architecture Institute aims at fostering discussion about this topic and directing it on to the right tracks. Since 2006 we are running mediaarchitecture.org to collect examples of such projects and analyse their technical background, as well as their creative potential, but also possible risks for the cityscape.<\/p>\n\n
About Media Facades Summit 2010<\/h4>\n\n
After the Media Architecture Conference London 2007 and the Mediafacades Exhibition Berlin 2008, the Media Facades Summit 2010 will again gather the central players in this new field. Creative minds and top experts for media-facades will present different approaches to design and their most important projects.<\/p>\n\n
The lectures and following panel discussions will deal with the following issues:<\/p>\n
- \n\t
- How do media-facades make architecture change?<\/li>\n\t
- Which part does technology (for example LED technology) play in the design process?<\/li>\n\t
- What effects do media-facades have on the perception of a city?<\/li>\n\t
- How can residents become involved?<\/li>\n\t
- How can benefits and risks of media-facades be evaluated?<\/li>\n\t
- Are we wasting energy with this sort of technology?<\/li>\n\t
- In which directions could this topic be developed? Are the visions of “Minority Report” or “Blade Runner” being realized or even excelled?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
The event will be held in English.<\/p>\n\n

Astrid Piber<\/strong>, Partner\/Senior Architect at UNStudio<\/p>\n\n
Astrid Piber is a Partner of UNStudio with more than ten years experience as a design architect on urban projects and international competitions. The realized projects Galleria Luxury Hall West (Seoul, 2003-2004) and Star Place Luxury Shopping Plaza, Kaohsiung (2006-2008) initiated her interest and further involvement with mixed use and retail projects, such as the Galleria Cheonan (2008-2010) and Raffles City Hangzhou (2008-2012). She became a member of UNStudio’s Management Team in 2006 and a Partner of UNStudio in 2008.<\/p>\n\n
Abstract: All Aglow<\/em><\/p>\n\n
Throughout Asia media facades are booming. Despite a global recession, urban leisure and retail developments are constantly emerging and existing buildings are re-inventing their appearance. The latest media screens have become the ornament of 21st century commercial architecture. The very latest lighting technology encourages the media facades to out glow the buildings themselves – at least, as long as it is dark. But in an urban setting packed with screens and displays, how can a media facade still achieve visual prominence?<\/p>\n\n
For three of UNStudio’s projects, designed and realized between 2003 and 2010, the challenge to create an outstanding identity which represented each development’s brand was a prerequisite. Following the chronological evolution of the different design processes of these projects, the duality of day and night, of real and virtual and of physical substance and digital content has been the playground where optical illusion and lighting effects out glow each other.<\/p>\n\n

Born in 1958, studied architecture at the RWTH University of Archen from 1980-1988. During his studies, he developed an interdisciplinary way of working employing all possibilities of visual design. In 1991, Christoph Kronhagel together with producer, Harald Singer, established the company, ag4 consortium, which grew into an interdisciplinary company creating media architectural projects that enables companies like BMW, Aventis and Serono to communicate their identity in public space. In 2004, ag4 company developed the LED application that installed the first transparent media fa\u00e7ade for the T-Mobile company in Bonn. In the continuous development of numerous media facades, Kronhagel pioneered the creative integration of media technique and media design content, combining commerce and communication with art, in public space. In 2009 he founded Kronhagel Mediatektur.<\/p>\n\n
Abstract: Codes and Notes<\/em><\/p>\n\n
After having devoted myself for many years to the task of shaping media technology to be a component of architecture, I am currently concentrating on the challenges posed by content design.<\/p>\n\n
It seems to me that hitherto most media facade projects have arisen from a \u201cnice to have\u201d reflex. The motive of the person commissioning the project consists then in producing something decorative with an innovative appearance or in raising the profile of architecture. But how can the media facade bring about a genuine achievement that the commissioner can recognize and reward? Such an achievement can only be attained if a media facade is placed in the context of a content-orientated communicative task.<\/p>\n\n
A direct monetary back flow in its usual outward form, switching on advertising in a public space, seems problematic, because the dominance of commercial incentives transmits to the spatial relationships of a showcase an aggressiveness unfolding in a public space which, in general, meets with disapproval, both aesthetic and psychological. What we are after is a thematic arrangement, the hybrid aspects that urban planning and regional identity can combine with the construction of communicative strategies.<\/p>\n\n
Architecture has always been a codification of societal relationships. Architectonic representation articulates the being and endeavours of social systems. But while a classical facade is of a largely fixed nature, a media facade can constantly arrange its characteristics in line with current social norms. This constant change in the character of a facade can nowadays be controlled interactively. Bazon Brock calls this type of interaction the \u201cprinciple of mimic\u201d and the man in the street can now communicate with the front of the building.<\/p>\n\n
If the process content is organised in real time or even computer generated, then it can be synchronised with other media as, for example, the Internet. As ordinary people have more and more direct contact with the Internet, a system of spontaneous communication can be set up that can be strategically combined with the communicative interests of the commissioning agent. This seems to me to offer the perspective of freeing media showcases from just the \u201cnice to have\u201d reflex and nothing more.<\/p>\n\n

Abstract<\/p>\n\n
Be it through projections or video displays or light installations \u2013 more and more enterprises use their company buildings to set themselves apart and to achieve as much attention as possible in times of continuous visual overstimulation. Media facades have increasingly established themselves as eye-catchers in urban environments. Not always they meet the public`s approval, especially when ostensible and bold lighting effects dominate the perception of the urban surroundings. For Licht Kunst Licht it is a challenge to develop a lighting design that subtly enhances the architecture while it is smoothly integrated into the spatial context.<\/p>\n\n

Geb\u00e4ude erhalten dadurch eine zus\u00e4tzliche Funktion als Medienscreens oder werden zu animierter Architektur. J\u00fcngste Beispiele sind das Bayer Headquarter in Leverkusen, das neue Ars Electronica Centers in Linz oder Yasni Hotel in Dubai. Da die Preise f\u00fcr LEDs sinken und ihre Leuchtst\u00e4rke laufend zunimmt, ist in den n\u00e4chsten Jahren einerseits damit zu rechnen, dass dieser Verschmelzungsprozess voranschreitet und zu einem fixen Bestandteil zeitgen\u00f6ssischer Architektur wird, dass er andererseits aber auch heftige Diskussionen \u00fcber Sinn und Unsinn dieser Entwicklung ausl\u00f6sen wird. Das Media Architecture Institute m\u00f6chte die Diskussionen rund um dieses Thema f\u00f6rdern und in konkrete Bahnen lenken. Auf mediaarchitecture.org sammeln wir seit 2006 Projektbeispiele, analysieren technische Hintergr\u00fcnde, kreatives Potential aber auch m\u00f6gliche Risiken f\u00fcr Stadtbild und Umwelt.<\/p>\n\n
\u00dcber Media Facades Summit 2010<\/h4>\n\n
Nach der Media Architecture Conference London 2007 und der Medien Fassaden Ausstellung Berlin 2008 versammeln wir auch beim Media Facades Summit 2010 zentrale Akteure dieses neuen Bereiches. Kreative K\u00f6pfe und Topexperten f\u00fcr Medienfassaden pr\u00e4sentieren ihre Gestaltungsans\u00e4tze und wichtigsten Projekte.<\/p>\n\n
In den Vortr\u00e4gen sowie in der darauf folgenden Podiumsdiskussion werden folgende Fragen er\u00f6rtert.<\/p>\n
- \n\t
- Wie ver\u00e4ndert sich Architektur durch Medienfassaden?<\/li>\n\t
- Welche Rolle spielt die Technologie – z.B. die LED Technologie im Gestaltungsprozess?<\/li>\n\t
- Wie wirken sich Medienfassaden auf die Wahrnehmung der Stadt aus?<\/li>\n\t
- Wie lassen sich Bewohner in Bespielungskonzepte einbeziehen?<\/li>\n\t
- Wie k\u00f6nnte man Nutzen und Risiken von Medienfassaden bewerten?<\/li>\n\t
- Verschwenden wir mit dieser Technologie Energie?<\/li>\n\t
- In welche Richtung k\u00f6nnte sich das Thema weiterentwickeln. Werden die Visionen von \u201eMinority Report” oder “Blade Runner” realisiert oder sogar noch \u00fcbertroffen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
