Das dem MIT angehörende Senseable City Lab unter Carlo Ratti ist eines der Forschungszentren, die sich mit den Strömen von Menschen und Waren, aber auch von Müll beschäftigen, die sich um den Globus bewegen. Erfahrungen mit infrastrukturellen Großprojekten legen nahe, dass immer komplexere und vor allem flexiblere Antworten auf Fragen des Transports oder der Entsorgung gesucht werden müssen. Der von Dietmar Offenhuber und Carlo Ratti herausgegebene Band zeigt, wie Big Data die Realität und damit die Beschäftigung mit der Stadt verändern. Er diskutiert die Auswirkungen von Echtzeitdaten auf Architektur und Stadtplanung anhand von Beispielen, die im Senseable City Lab erarbeitet wurden: Sie demonstrieren, wie das Lab digitale Daten als Material interpretiert, das für die Formulierung einer anderen urbanen Zukunft herangezogen werden kann. Nicht übersehen werden dabei die Schattenseiten der stadtbezogenen Datenerfassung und -steuerung.Die Autoren thematisieren Fragestellungen, mit welchen sich die planenden Disziplinen in der Stadt in Zukunft intensiv beschäftigen werden: Fragestellungen, die die bisherigen Aufgaben und das Selbstverständnis der beteiligten Professionen nicht nur radikal in Zweifel ziehen, sondern fundamental verändern werden.…

The MIT based SENSEable City Lab under Carlo Ratti is one of the research centers that deal with the flow of people and goods, but also of refuse that moves around the world. Experience with large-scale infrastructure projects suggest that more complex and above all flexible answers must be sought to questions of transportation or disposal. This edition, edited by Dietmar Offenhuber and Carlo Ratti, shows how Big Data change reality and, hence, the way we deal with the city. It discusses the impact of real-time data on architecture and urban planning, using examples developed in the SENSEable City Lab. They demonstrate how the Lab interprets digital data as material that can be used for the formulation of a different urban future. It also looks at the negative aspects of the city-related data acquisition and control. The authors address issues with which urban planning disciplines will work intensively in the future: questions that not only radically and critically review, but also change fundamentally, the existing tasks and how the professions view their own roles.
