Save the date for a mini-symposium / livecast that the Lectorate is putting together in collaboration with the Media Architecture Biennale. The programme will be live-streamed on March 24th, at 18:30 CET via the Pakhuis de Zwijger. For this edition, we are inviting a group of multidisciplinary speakers to discuss media architecture through the lens of civic interaction design.
What role can media architecture play in activating public spaces and engaging audiences around issues of communal concern?
What role can media architecture and new technologies play in the representation of social themes and in the organisation of public debate and public spaces? How can media architecture be used in engagement processes and to which new forms of social organisation could it contribute? And how can the design of digital media contribute to improving the interaction between citizens and institutions?

- Eric Gordon – Director and Professor, Engagement Lab at Emerson College
