Erik Spiekermann: The Informational City

As part of the London Design Festival the London College of Communication LCC is hosting a lecture by information architects Erik Spiekermann and Tim Fendley, highlighting the ways in which we understand information in urban spaces.

London is a city full of visible and invisible layers of information and of digital and analogue spaces. New technologies have prompted designers to question the use of traditional communication methods (e.g. posters, billboards), as well as the ways in which design and motion might be more effective in its mediation of information. The way information is sent, received and mediated presents new challenges and opportunities. 
The intent of this event is to make visible the different ways in which design and architecture interfaces with digital and analogue technologies and how we might begin to address information networks for the 21st Century.

The event is a joint initiative with the London College of Communication LCC Information Environments (IE) and [The Institute of Urban Information http://www.urbaninformation.org/ "The Institute of Urban Information").

Date: Thursday 24 September

Time: 7.00pm – 10.00pm
