Call for Participation
Media Architecture Biennale (MAB20) themed #FuturesImplied, 23 to
27 November 2020 in Amsterdam and Utrecht, The Netherlands.
We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the 2020
Media Architecture Biennale (MAB20) themed #FuturesImplied. The
Media Architecture Biennale is the world’s premier event on media
architecture, urban interaction design, and urban informatics,
bringing together world-renowned architects, artists and
designers, leading thinkers on urban design, key industry and
government representatives, and students. The event offers
workshops, symposia, a conference with an academic research track
and keynotes by leading thinkers in the field. It closes off with
a ceremony in which the biennial Media Architecture Awards will be
presented to outstanding works of art, architecture and design.
Our aim is to provide an excellent forum for debate and knowledge
exchange; to offer a unique opportunity that brings together the
best minds and organisations and to highlight state-of-the-art and
experimental research in media architecture.
MAB20 invites papers from academics, students, and industry
practitioners that align to the theme Futures Implied and the
sub-themes described below. The paper contributions should address
current practices, discuss theoretical approaches, or present
novel research that explore and further develop our understanding
of media architecture through relevant case studies, design
processes, and community and industry examples.
MAB Theme: Futures Implied
The theme for the Media Architecture Biennale 2020 is Futures
Implied. Papers should address one or more of the following
issues:
* The Aesthetics and Poetics of Responsive Urban Spaces: How can
media architecture contribute to a sense of place, deepening
citizens’ understanding of and attachments to local sites and
making them more legible, imaginative, and inclusive?
* Citizens’ digital rights in the era of platform ecologies: How
can media architecture articulate public values and allow citizens
to govern through digital platforms, rather than be governed by
them?
* Playful & Artistic Civic Engagement: How can media
architecture help to enact people-centric interventions through
which citizens themselves learn, negotiate, and create innovations
through play and games?
* Restorative Cities: How can media architecture enable societies
to regenerate socially, ecologically, and physiologically on
multiple levels, from the individual to the city as an entity of
systems?
* More-Than-Human Cities: How can media architecture move beyond
its legacy of human-centric design, and foster and embrace the
well-being of the natural ecosystem as a whole?
Important dates
* Paper submission deadline: 5 April 2020
* Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2020
* All revisions due and Camera Ready paper deadline: 20 September
2020
Preparing your submission
* The conference invites research presentations from both academia
and industry:
* We invite papers with a minimum of six and a maximum of ten
pages in length, in ACM format;
* The papers should clearly explain the research question
addressed, research methods and tasks, findings or results, and
contributions of the work. Papers should also provide sufficient
background and related work to situate and contextualise the
authors’ work within a greater body of research;
* Submissions should consist of original work not previously
published or concurrently under consideration for any other
conference, workshop, journal, or other publication with an iSBN,
iSSN, or DOI number;
* Authors must provide a 30-word contribution statement for their
paper upon submission; the contribution statement should explain
the contribution made by the paper to the Media Architecture
community;
* Papers will be peer-reviewed by multiple members of a program
committee consisting of experts in a range of disciplines that
shape media architecture;
* Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library
(approval pending).
