The summit is part of the Luminale 2016<\/a>, which runs \r\nin parallel to the Light+Building event taking place in Frankfurt in March\u00a02016.<\/pre>\r\nThis years Summit will offer a blend of a two day program including a\u00a0conference<\/a>\u00a0 at the German Architecture Museum and\u00a0a\u00a0two half day\u00a0workshop<\/a>\u00a0sessions.

Buildings thereby increasingly function as media screens or turn in to animated architecture. Most recent examples in this field include the Hanjie Wanda Shopping Centre in Wuhan or the new Ars Electronica Centre in Linz. 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 have maintained 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.\r\n\r\nThe Media Architecture\u00a0Summit 2016 contributes to this discourse around media architecture by showcasing and discussing latest trends and developments in the field. A series of lectures panel discussions will deal with the following questions:\r\n\r\n\tWhat is the impact of media architecture?<\/li>\r\n\tHow can media architecture empower\u00a0sharing\u00a0economies ?<\/li>\r\n\tHow can real time data be integrated into existing surroundings and structures ?<\/li>\r\n\tWhich part does technology (for example LED technology) play in the design process?<\/li>\r\n\tWhat are the effects of media architecture\u00a0on the perception of a city?<\/li>\r\n\tHow can citizens become involved in the development process?<\/li>\r\n\tHow can benefits and risks of media facades be assessed?<\/li>\r\n\tWhat are sustainable considerations of this technology?<\/li>\r\n\tWhat are current trends and future directions?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/a>\r\nProgram<\/h4>\r\n15 March 2016<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n13:30-17:30<\/td>\r\nSummit<\/a><\/strong>\r\n@Deutsches Architekturmuseum\r\n\r\n\t13:30-14:00 Christine Lindsey (Feno)<\/li>\r\n\t14:00-14:30 Sebastian Oschatz (Meso)<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t14:30-15:00 Scott Lloyd (Urban Think Tank)<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t15:00-15:30 Coffee Break<\/b><\/li>\r\n\t15:30-16:00 Gernot Tscherteu (MAI) und Tac Lion (Media Facade)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t16:00-16:30 John Zib\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n 16:30-17:30 Joint panel discussion\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n16\u00a0March 2016<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n9:30-12:30<\/td>\r\nWorkshop<\/strong><\/a>\r\n@Deutsches Architekturmuseum\r\nOpportunities in urban media <\/strong>hosted by John Zib\r\nIn this workshop I will share knowledge and then lead sessions to develop new learning.
