New: New Our cities are smart and getting smarter as informationprocessing capability is embedded throughout more and more of our urbaninfrastructure. Few of us object to traffic light control systems that respond tothe ebbs and flows of city traffic; but we might be taken aback when discountcoupons for our favorite espresso drink are beamed to our mobile phones as we walkpast a Starbucks. Sentient City explores the experience of living in a city that canremember, correlate, and anticipate. Five teams of architects, artists, andtechnologists imagine a variety of future interactions that take place as computingleaves the desktop and spills out onto the sidewalks, streets, and public spaces ofthe city. Too Smart City employs city furniture as enforcers: a benchejects a sitter who sits too long, a sign displays the latest legal codes and warnspassersby against transgression, and a trashcan throws back the wrong kind of trash. Amphibious Architecture uses underwater sensors and lights to create ahuman-fish-environment feedback loop; Natural Fuse uses a network ofelectronically assisted plants to encourage energy conservation; Trash Track follows smart-tagged garbage on its journey through thecity's waste-management system; and Breakout uses wireless technologyand portable infrastructure to make the entire city a collaborative workplace. Theseprojects are described, documented, and illustrated by 100 images, most in color. Essays by prominent thinkers put the idea of the sentient city in theoreticalcontext. Alternative ideas for a smartcity, from a park bench that enforces time limits by ejecting the sitter to electronicallyassisted plants that encourage conservation.
