Great “Sinterklaas” gift: the first pamphlet in the series Architecture and Situated Technologies Pamphlet is available now at Lulu (free download pdf 8.5 MB; $15 for the paper version). About the 48-page pamphlet:

The Situated Technologies Pamphlet series explores the implications of ubiquitous computing for architecture and urbanism: How is our experience of the city and the choices we make in it affected by mobile communications, pervasive media, ambient informatics, and other “situated” technologies? How will the ability to design increasingly responsive environments alter the way architects conceive of space? What do architects need to know about urban computing and what do technologists need to know about cities? Situated Technologies Pamphlets will be published in nine issues and will be edited by a rotating list of leading researchers and practitioners from architecture, art, philosophy of technology, comparative media study, performance studies, and engineering.      

The front cover is a picture of Amsterdam Realtime, one of the first locative media projects by Esther Polak, Jeroen Kee & Waag Society.
