An event hosted by LSE Cities in partnership with London Festival of Architecture
LSE Cities’ Senior Urban Fellow Adam Greenfield lead a slow and considered walk through Elephant and Castle. The walk looked for appearances of the networked digital in the physical capital city, and vice versa: apertures through which the things that happen in the real world drive the ‘network weather’, and contexts in which that weather affects what people see, confront and are able to do.
Previously a rock critic, bike messenger and psychological operations specialist in the US Army, Adam Greenfield spent over a decade working in the design and development of networked digital information technologies, as lead information architect for the Tokyo office of internet services consultancy Razorfish, independent user-experience designer and head of design direction for service and user-interface design at Nokia headquarters in Helsinki. Selected in 2013 as Senior Urban Fellow at the LSE Cities centre of the London School of Economics, Adam has also taught in New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program and the Urban Design course at the Bartlett, University College London. His books include Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing (2006), Urban Computing and its Discontents (2007), and the #1 bestselling Against the Smart City (2013). He lives in London with his partner, the filmmaker Nurri Kim.
