Despite the positive aspects of media facades, the growth of them can cause light pollution and add to the confusion of the city. This study analyzes the Seoul case which implements citywide management with a master plan for media facades. Through this, the study aims to investigate the meaning of citywide management of media facades installed on individual buildings. Firstly, it investigates the conditions of media facades in Seoul City. The identified problems prove the necessity of the citywide management for media facades. Secondly, it analyzed the progress of media facades regulation of Seoul City. Management target has changed from the indiscreet installation for the individual media facades to further inducing the attractive media facade for overall Seoul City. For this, the 'Seoul Media Facade Management MasterPlan' was drafted to establish citywide management by the Seoul government. Thirdly, it analyzed the MasterPlan. The management tools in the MasterPlan are classified into regional management, elemental management, and specialization plans, each having detailed approaches. Finally, the study discussed the meaning of citywide management in the aspect that media facades are the cultural asset to the city, that the regional differentiation is adopted, and that the continuous maintenance for both of the hardware and content) is important. Media facades utilizing the facade of buildings are recognized as an element of urban landscapes securing the publicness, contributing to the vitalization of the area, and finally providing pleasure to the citizens.","PeriodicalId":303087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd Conference on Media Architecture Biennale","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128282829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"From 'digital' to 'smart': upgrading the city","authors":"Alessandro Aurigi, K. Willis, Lorena Melgaço","doi":"10.1145/2946803.2946813","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2946803.2946813","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper we seek to reflect on the way in which 'digital cities' later re-emerge as 'smart cities' (both in terms of the approaches and also the actual cities) and what lessons can be learned about the role of ICTs in how they shape urban space. We will focus on looking at how the lack of understanding of the city as a 'place' is often a common factor in the lack of longevity in 'digital city' initiatives and discuss the corresponding implications for the emergence of 'smart cities'. We draw on a study of the city of Bristol, UK in order to look at the variety of initiatives that took Bristol from a 1990's digital city to the current 'smart' projects. We conclude by reflecting on what can be learnt from the lessons of the failed Digital City projects of 1990's and discuss the role that placemaking could play in the development of socially and spatially sustainable smart cities.","PeriodicalId":303087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd Conference on Media Architecture Biennale","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129803301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
