THE INFLUENCE OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ON THE WAY WE LIVE

AND THE ARCHITECTURE WE LIVE IN

The changing reason for travel as physical meetings has changed to virtual meetings, reducing the number of trips to be made, affecting all modes of transportation, and in turn, its supporting facilities such as homes, garages, stations, airports and vehicle maintenance facilities. The rise of budget airlines is one such effect.

Reduction of work space, efficiency in the need for paper, file storage. Storage information and reference libraries can become instantly available through the information technology.

Some interesting developments to show the changing trends in living space :

03

There exists an interesting between WINDOWS and architecture, apart from the obvious. Here I mean Microsoft’s WINDOWS computer operating system and the function and meaning of a “window” in architecture.

As architects, windows are designing compromise of wanting to have a relation with “the other side”, whatever the case may be. Keep the view without rain; keep the light without the heat: keep the breeze without the storm. Glass technology has quietly advanced in quantum leaps since its first invention of Egyptian glass beads in around 3000-2500BC. Churches, homes and even furniture used its beauty and mysterious qualities in the Art Deco period of the early 20th century.

Today, glass, windows and WINDOWS, have taken a whole new other meaning. Microsoft and Corning are developing such smoothly inter-related technology (AQ edition 6th, March 2011), that glass has now become, not just a material one can “see through”, but smart glass that is a material regulating “how much one sees” and what one “look at” for information.

The recent integration of the two technologies can be seen in the Corning glass products for computer screens that are embedded in your average kitchen bench. Smart phones and similar gadgets’ touch screens for instance. This will open up many opportunities in architecture to make buildings SMART and GREEN.

Many architectural features are mass produced and affordable allowing more people access to good and affordable designs. This however, according to Ahmad, an architect, has watered down architectural uniqueness, as designs become “look alike architecture” the world around due to mass globalization of ideas.

Meeting spaces become simpler but more wired than ever before. Fajar Abdi Wibawa, noted that Skype teleconferencing out of meeting rooms around the world allows one to exchange sketches and share screens with each other with ease.

Wawang Nurdiaman also stated in his analysis, that building facades has become electronic billboards or giant TV screens like Taipeh 101 and Taman Anggrek, says Anne. All these equipment require control rooms, server rooms, that affect building space planning. Further Wawang noted that antennas on tall buildings are staggering, affecting the design of towers and its crowns.

According to Adithia, an interior designer, the use of partitions for privacy has less of a purpose today, since audio and visual privacy is now provided by your desktop computer and surround sound earphone technology.

Working and building operational hours are affected due to communications technology. Different time zones on this planet, work together across the globe as work gets outsourced to places where resources are economically available, such as answering services in India and the Philippines become major work places for companies in the US and UK.

So the WINDOWS of the future is no longer just a static piece of glass covering a hole in the wall, but a screen that provides every viewer with a choice of what to “see” at the touch of a button, on a piece of glass (as Steve Jobs refers to his iPad), anywhere, anytime – moving windows on demand . Look around you and see how much “glass” surrounds us today, providing “a window” into almost everything and every corner of the world and beyond. This must have a profound change in our lives and the place we live in.

●

Remote work stations, many homes in technologically advance countries become a workplace as well. In Australia, home designs now commonly include a small office above the garage. The hunger for connectivity gave rise to the demand for internet on airplanes, wifi in cafes, mobile wifi modems and power source for chargers.

As Communication Technology Moves Ahead…

How will your building be used over time ? I’m sure you already take into account how certain materials will look as they are continuously to sunlight or are worn down by occupant use. But do you ever seriously consider how, when and why your building will need a “facelift” during its lifespan ? Well, today there are multitude of factors that can spark the need for such change – and a major one is communication technology.

Communication technology is spreading and evolving at and faster pace – particularly noticeable in office buildings. The nature of the way employees communicate is having radical effects on the way buildings work, in fact, the cultures behind many architectural institution-types are morphing because of changes in communication – and their occupants certainly feel the differences.

With the new technology, people are able to communicate anytime and anywhere. Computing is becoming ubiquitous and sensors are already being embedded in a wide range of devices. Yet, buildings remain somewhat static – as if to wrap themselves around all of this activity, without actually fusing with it and becoming part of its emerging rhythms.

The Art of The “Communication”

As an architect, I challenge you to dissect the narrative your occupant’s live. Use architecture to spread, filter and make sense of all the rapidly travelling information going to and from your occupant within a given time, in the right place and in the right manner.

Yes, information is quite handy when held within the comfort of a personal device like an iPhone, but can you imagine what might be possible if information could dynamically make an employee’s location (wherever they may be in their office building, for example) fill with real-time and customize “purposes”. To help them reduce stress and do a better job – while they actually perform the job ?

Buildings should be more than a series of pieces and parts assembled in some aesthetic manner that happens to be functional. As we enter the world of tomorrow today, we as architects need to think of buildings as more than just static entitles around which occupants are in motion. Instead, architecture should also flex with its inhabitants – helping them to make connections everywhere.

Use Communication Technology to Make Your Building Flex

“Ubiquitous computing is giving architecture many benefits that we will

continue to see embedded in our buildings. Ubiquitous computing is the wave of the future

– providing us with many new architectural functions as well as challenges. For now, let’s

focus on the benefits.”

TOP 7 Benefits of Ubiquitous Computing in Architecture

06

1. Invisible “Smart” environments will be embedded with computing technologies that will be mostly out-of-sight. Architecture will gain many more capabilities – with less visual clutter.

2. Socialization Interactions with architecture will be more social in nature. “Smart” buildings will illicit a more social response from occupants as computers user interfaces embed themselves within architecture.

3. Decision Making “Smart” environment will help occupants to make better choices as they go about their everyday lives. At key moments within architectural experiences, a good architectural design will make “smart” environments helpful. Such architecture will be more proactive than passive.

4. Emergent Behavior Buildings are now becoming more and more kinetic in form and function. Their movements and constructed design come together dynamically to yield behaviors that make them more adaptive. Buildings will learn how to learn - in order to run efficiently and aesthetically.

5. Information Processing Since architecture will be gaining a type of “nervous system”, information processing will be gaining a whole new meaning. Architecture will go from crunching data to making sense of data; therefore, eliminating our need to constantly input adjustments.

6. Enhancing Experience As computers ubiquitously embed themselves in our environments, sensors and actuators will create “smart” environments where architectural space will be goal-oriented. Therefore, more occupant needs will be better met.

7. Convergence Much of our environment will be supplemented with interconnected digital technologies. Such interconnectivity will allow for a new type of “sharing” that will serve to eliminate many mundane tasks. Also, fewer errors will occur as systems pull data from shared digital locations (instead of having numerous copies to keep up-to-date).

DiscourseDiscussion

Ubiquitous computing in the works, and so is the smart building. From portable computing to smart devices and from calm computing to wearable computing, architecture will no longer exist as a static “frame” which surrounds activity. Instead, buildings will begin to “move” around their occupants – as if to gain a nervous system.

Networks Will Help Building be Smart

Computers are getting smaller and theyare being increasingly networked. The result will be buildings that communicate with both their exterior and interior environments. Since computers will be embedded in just about everything,from environmental objects to occupant clothing, designing for this type ubiquitous computing evolution will be both challenging and amazing.

For starters, buildings will have to protect while also allowing for a renewed which we currently don’t see. As architects we will need to re-think the notion of boundary as it relates to what occupants can do within a space – and as it relates to what a space can do around an occupants.

Boundaries Become Flexible

Thus, as architectural space gains renewed function, flexibility will also be redefined. Some current “boundaries” will become more flexible, while others many completely disappear.

The notion of scale, for example, will undergo a shift within the architect’s mindset. With advancements in fields like nanotechnology, architects will rethink what materials can do. This coupled with ubiquitous computing will yield buildings where experiences for occupants will be more personalized.

The important thing for architects to remember is that ubiquitous computing does not just affect computer devices and technologies. These will become a part of the environment – and as they are embedded, it is up to architects to deign so that when buildings communicate with such devices, everything is synchronized to healthy and human state-of-the-art environments.

Use Communication Technology To Make Your Building Flex

THE FLOWER BUILDINGThe potential for a lit façade to interact and convey information like never before is being made into reality. During the day, this façade turns solar exposure into energy to then turn this energy into different stages of performance and behavior at the night. The designers explain how their video wall gives the flower-like behavior – by absorbing daily than later turns into nightly performance energy – manifesting a type of sustainability.

PUSHING TECHNOLOGY It is nice to see this project pushing certain architectural design boundaries. As the hardware, software and content all come together – it is hard to believe that the façade’s resolution is only one pixel per every three feet. This certainly does make one think twice about how much information is necessary to communicate and interact with spectators and visitors.

08DiscourseDiscussion

Much about this project opens up questions for the future evolution of interactive façade lighting technology. As new technologies surface, it is important for designers to understand how this all will affect human perception. I have feeling that future ideas about launching a video or using macro photography on this type of façade are only the beginning.

I like the designer’s thought about how this project references certain aspects of pointillism where there is a moment when points blur together or are seen individually.

SINGAPORE - NATIONAL LIBRARY (The Impression of a Visitor : Hema Saepudin)

Pada kunjungan saya ke Singapura di bulan Maret 2012 lalu, saya menyempatkan diri untuk mengunjungi salah satu perpustakaan nasional terbesar yang dimiliki oleh negara singa tersebut, The Singapore National Library.

Hari itu hampir pukul 12 siang, udara di Singapura sangat panas menyengat. Saya turun ke lobby hotel tempat saya menginap untuk check out dan mencari taksi menuju Singapore National Library.

Singapore National Library memiliki luas kurang lebih 58.000 meter persegi, memiliki dua blok utama yang dihubungkan dengan jembatan gantung. Di dalamnya terdapat 16 lantai yang dibagi per-section sesuai dengan kategori buku bacaan sehingga, hal ini memudahkan para pengunjung saat mencari buku yang diinginkan. Terdapat pula ruang theatre untuk umum yang dapat menampung hingga 600 pengunjung. Sungguh tidak seperti perpustakaan kebanyakan yang terkesan suram dan membosankan !

ARSITEKTUR BANGUNAN

Dengan menerapkan Bioclimatic Architecture dan sistem passive lighting rendah-energi, bangunan ini responsive terhadap iklim dengan konfigurasi bentuk serta sistem façade yang efektif. Ken Yeang sang arsitek, berhasil membuat Singapore National Library di anugrahi penghargaan top ranking dalam kategori “Energy Efficiency and Conservation Best Practices Competition for Energy Efficient Buildings: New and Existing“ pada ASEAN Energy Awards di Singapura, 23 Augustus 2007 lalu.

Dalam pola perancangan gedung, Ken Yeang membagi tiap lantai menjadi beberapa section. Diantaranya adalah ruang bacaan di Level 7 sampai dengan Level 13, The Events Plaza (untuk 'outdoor events’ seperti pameran), terletak di lantai dasar.

Kira-kira 6,000-8,000 m2 dirancang sebagai 'green spaces’. Kehadiran landscape yang teduh, telah mengurangi temperatur permukaan bangunan. Panas diteruskan ke udara bebas, sehingga meningkatkan kondisi thermal dalam ruangan.

Bangunan ini dibentuk sedemikian rupa agar sebagian besar ruang dalam terlindung dari radiasi langsung sinar matahari. Faktor lain seperti sun shading, penghawaan alami, design façade yang responsive, pewarnaan bangunan dan pemanfaatan ruang luar dikombinasikan sebagai strategi kolektif untuk penghematan energi tanpa mengurangi kenyamanan.

BUGIS JUNCTION & BRAS BASAH

Setelah puas 3 jam menikmati nyamannya perpustakaan, saya beranjak ke Bugis Junction dan Bras Basah untuk membeli oleh-oleh. Keluar dari lobby utama, saya menaiki taksi dan meminta sang supir untuk mengantar saya ke tujuan. Tidak sampai 10 menit, taksi pun berhenti dan sang supir berkata bahwa saya sudah sampai. Ternyata Singapore National Library terletak bersebelahan dengan Bugis Junction dan Bras Basah. Pantas saja menjadikan lokasi ini sangat strategis bagi para pengunjung yang ingin berbelanja atau sekedar meluangkan waktu untuk membaca diperpustakaan. Mengetahui pusat perbelanjaan yang dituju ternyata sangat dekat, dengan agak berat hati saya mengeluarkan uang 6 dolar Singapura atau sekitar 45.000 rupiah untuk biaya taksi tersebut.

Memiliki kesempatan untuk mengunjungi salah satu perpustakaan terbesar di Singapura merupakan pengalaman yang sangat berarti dan memberikan saya pandangan lebih luas secara real mengenai konsep innovative green (environmentally-responsive) yang dikhususkan untuk jenis tropical building.

Written by Hema Saepudin

Saya berharap kedepannya Indonesia dapat memperhatikan dengan serius masalah pembangunan dan pendidikan. Dimana salah satu caranya adalah menyediakan perpustakaan yang ramah lingkungan, nyaman, atau bahkan dapat menjadikan perpustakaan sebagai tempat wisata yang akan diminati baik kalangan tua maupun muda.

NYC Subway Stop Has Trippy Surprise for Inattentive Passengers

The 36th Street station in Brooklyn has one tiny flaw that sets it apart from all the other subway stations in the city: One of its stairs "is a fraction of an inch higher" than the rest. It's this tiny discrepancy that makes all the difference, notes resident Dean Peterson.

The filmmaker recently spent some time shooting footage of subway patrons emerging from the station only to realize, a moment too late, than one of the stairs is not like the others.

Schadenfreude aside, someone should really fix that thing before a small inconvenience becomes a big problem.

PRIVATE ISLAND HOMES By Bethany Lyttle, Forbes.com

April 25, 2012

This concept home has a retractable glass canopy and can be floated

anywhere.Photo: Nigel Gee

Taking up residence in the middle of an ocean, lake or river isn’t for everybody. But for anyone who yearns for a property line that laps to shore. Options abound. Architecturally expressive abodes for the aesthetically inclined, secluded dwellings for the nature-loving set, spacious compounds for the party minded, and unforgettable retreats for families are just the beginning.

Take the Utopia Project. It’s not just a home. It’s a man-made island. With glass canopy panels that cover its interior or open out to create decks, it’s suitable for any climate. And its spaceship-style design allow for observatories with 360-degree views.

15

Views of what, exactly? Well, that’s for the owner of this private island to decide. After all, the island home’s naval design, created by Yacht Island Designs in conjunction with BMT Nigel Gee, means it can be floated slowly to any desired location. Once there, the structure can withstand even the roughest seas thanks its four legged design. And for those who like the idea of a man-made island but prefer the look of a tropical paradise to that of a floating UFO, the firm offers just that—a 295-foot island complete with a waterfall and faux volcano.

Of course, most islands are not made out of steel. And certainly, the sky-reaching conifers, rocky points, rugged underbrush and verdant ferns are what would have attracted Frank Lloyd Wright to the tiny island in Lake Mahopac, New York, on which stands a summer house inspired by his drawings. Distinguished by its 28-foot cantilevered great room which juts into the lake, the modern masterpiece is visible from the mainland.

The house features an expansive deck that’s contiguous with the rocky ledges that define the perimeter of the island. And to enter the home, guests must pass through a surprisingly narrow passage, built to accommodate a huge boulder.

Indigenous to the tiny island and named the Whale Rock, it makes a a dramatic statement in the entry hall, where it basks in natural sunlight thanks to an expansive skylight.

Of course, nothing says private island living like luxury. And Miami‘s La Gorge Estate is a pristine example. Originally built as a Mediterranean style for American entrepreneur Carl Graham Fisher, the villa, made up of three buildings, has since been remodeled to create a sleek and gracious contemporary modern home. Glass walls and large windows allow for unobstructed views of glittering Biscayne Bay from almost any room in the 16,000-square-foot main house.

You don't have to be a Frank Lloyd Wright fan to recognize his signature style in this private island home. Its 28-foot cantilever is nearly twice the length of the one at Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Celebrating the island's natural surroundings, the home features an enormous boulder in its entry hall and rocky surfaces discovered along the shores.

High Winds Mar Opening of Tokyo's Sky Tree Tower

The tallest free-standing communications tower in the world and the second-highest building ever constructed,

tourism officials have high hopes that the 634-meter tower will attract visitors to

the relatively neglected northeast districts of Tokyo.

High Winds Mar Opening Of Tokyo’s Sky Tree Tower

High winds have marred the opening to the public of the world's tallest broadcasting tower, Tokyo Skytree.

Operators shut two lifts for safety reasons, stranding some visitors on an observation deck for half an hour. Tens of thousands of people had flocked to the Japanese capital's newest attraction.

At 634m, the Skytree is twice the height of the Eiffel Tower. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai remains the world's tallest man-made structure at 828m.

The Skytree, which took three-and-a-half years to build, offers broadcasting services across the Tokyo area. The main attractions of the needle-shaped structure are two observation decks at 350m and 450m above ground.

Wind was not the only problem on opening day - rain also dampened proceedings, spoiling what should have been far-reaching views over the city.

"I can't see the view, but it was exciting," said Ayumi Nakazawa, the first official visitor to the observation deck, AFP news agency reported.

'Quake-proof‘

The Skytree stands about twice the height of Tokyo Tower, the city's landmark tower since the 1960s.

Major broadcasters, including Japan's public broadcaster NHK, will begin using it for transmissions from next year, reports said.

The first observation deck of the Skytree can accommodate up to 2,000 people and the second deck up to 900, said local media reports.

The tower withstood damage from the devastating earthquake that hit Japan in March 2011 during its construction

The disaster pushed back building efforts by two months, but no-one was hurt and construction was resumed.

The tower is now viewed as a testament to Japan's earthquake-resistant building technology, as well as a symbol of resilience, local media reports said.

But it seems it is not immune to the effects of everyday elements, such as strong wind.

1st Green Library For Kids Taking Root In Singapore

In a year, children visiting the National Library in Victoria Street will be able to step into an 'enchanted forest' containing a collection of green-themed books, program and displays.

Four- to 12-year-olds will even be able to curl up with books in their very own tree house there. The facility, the world's first green library for children, comes courtesy of the National Library Board (NLB) and property developer City Developments, for which this is a project in corporate citizenry.

Called 'My Tree House', the 500 sq m library will have 70,000 books, many of them with a nod to nature themes.

NLB chief executive Elaine Ng said the library aims to familiarize children with the environment and green practices. 'We hope this will contribute to a new generation of nature lovers,' she added.

My Tree House will be in the current children's area in the basement of the National Library Building.

1st Green Library For Kids Taking Root In Singapore

City Developments and its partners Interface and Royal Philips Electronics have pledged to provide the expertise and resources for the green library. Their joint experience with green-building innovations means the library will be built with green materials and practices.

The tree house centerpiece, for instance, will be made of recycled timber, PVC pipes, aluminum cans and plastic bottles; the library will be kitted out with carpets made of 70 per cent recyclable materials and energy-efficient LED lighting as well.

The design firm for the project, ADDP Architects, has a track record with green buildings; its leading design consultant Tang Kok Thye was recently named Green Architect of the Year by the Building and Construction Authority.

Tang said the challenges in the project came in the retrofitting of the library's space, and the changes made to the original design.

Along the way, his team had input from what he called 'little consultants': These likely users of the library said they preferred slopes over stairs. They also said the phrase 'green' brought to mind vegetables more than the environment, which is how the tree house concept evolved.

The library's interior will have high-tech interactive displays such as a shadow wall and a tree stump with rings reacting to sound and temperature.

Most of the library will be built off-site to minimize interruptions to the library's operations. The NLB hopes to showcase the green library at the World Library Information Congress to be hosted here in August next year.
