Description

Diorama II, 1962

It is a conversation between architect Lian Chikako Chang and Harvard University professor of law and cofounder of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society Jonathan Zittrain. The two discuss “generative technology”—technology that allows third parties to adapt and innovate it—as opposed to “tethered technology,” which locks users, coders, and designers into a specific, non-flexible framework. Together, they reflect on these types of technologies and their implications and reflections in architecture and the built environment. Should be an interesting read!
