On our website you will find pdf and jpeg versions of our flier that we request you to circulate on mailing lists and forums that you might be affiliated with. Six weeks ago, we announced our conference ?Cybernetics:Art, Design, Mathematics ?A Meta-Disciplinary Conversation? to be held in Troy, New York, 29 July to 2 August 2010. We believe that this conference will be an exciting and vibrant event that will help define ways forward in all 4 fields and will encourage enrichment of all 4 through learning from and with each other?which we take to be the reason for being interdisciplinary. Our conference has as its primary aim to develop what we might think of as next questions rather than report on answers to last questions, through discussion in groups and in plenary sessions. It is a conference where the main business will be to confer, not to report.

I would like to share with you that my new book, Toward a Ludic Architecture: The Space of Play and Games, has just been published by the ETC Press, an academic, open source, multimedia, publishing imprint affiliated with the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) at Carnegie Mellon University. The ETC Press represents an experiment and an evolution in publishing, bridging virtual and physical media to redefine the future of publication. In Toward a Ludic Architecture, I take a playful look at the conceptual space of play and games, architecturally framing play and games as human practices in and of space – whether we think of a board game, an athletic competition in a stadium, a videogame, playful social networking on the World Wide Web, an Alternate Reality Game, a location-based mobile game, or any combination thereof: Ludic activities are, have, and take place in or at, spaces. My 366-page publication can help you analyze and conceptually design play and games from an ... http://mail.architexturez.net/+/In-Enaction/archive/msg04582.shtml Anand Bhatt 2010-02-20T13:30:19+05:30 Dear Sir/ Madam Please find attached the Call for papers for the Fifth International Conference of Ascaad (The Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design): CAAD | CITIES | SUSTAINABILITY which will be held in Morocco in the period between 19-21 October 2010 and organized by National College of Architecture, Department of Architecture, Fes University, Morocco.

Many of us may be too surrounded by noise to ever consider an ancient tradition of sculpting with sound. The oldest buildings on Planet Earth are giving up hints for modern scientists. What effect could unusual resonance effects have had on the people who built and used such spaces? Did it change their brain activity? Was the phenomenon deliberately manipulated? What practices in other cultures seem to reflect an early human desire to tune in? Why? How can we apply this information today? The deadline for abstracts/proposals is 15 April 2010.
