Ted, ideas worth spreading

TED is a sort of worldwide community of exchange of facts and ideas. I found the main concept interesting, and there’s apparently a selection of ideas based on their merit, and also their innovative information. It has an attractive design, user friendly, where you can find everything organised.I think Tedblog is a great way for thinkers to recognize each other’s efforts, and organize blog posts around important topics, and improve the overall level of conversation in the blogosphere. The post’s come in edited “editions”, just like magazines or journals. The fact that these posts are edited (and usually annotated)collections of links lets them serve as “magazines” within the blogosphere, and organised in themes can earn their readership by providing high quality collections.Since the information on this blog includes lots of posts on specific topics, they also serve as a place to connect with those who are expert (or at least highly opinionated!) and those who are interested in those specific fields or just curious about it.

Robotecture

Robotecture is a weblog about the emerging practice within architecture that aims to merge the digital virtual with tangible and physical spatial experience, “focus of this blog is how interactive architecture can serve as a means for designing and building environments that address human communications in entirely new ways”.With a very focused reporting on what could be easily identified as interactive architecture, interactive installations for large scale architectural projects, focus to include interactive furniture, experimental projects at universities and research groups, and interesting new materials that I believe will transform how we apply technology into the built environment.I’ve read here extremely interesting aspects of interactive architecture because increasingly this technology is becoming invisible to the naked eye. There is a couple of articles that I really loved and fulfilled my own curiosity in potential of interactive architecture.As a whole I find projects that suggest a future where integration of digital systems into the fabric of the built environment, rather than having computers as distinct objects embody what interactive architecture is about. Hopefully this will enable people to move around and interact with computers more naturally than they currently do.
