Embedded technologies and 'Interaction' landscapes

Interaction landscapes are an idea that across species and technologies, that we may be able to, through our current understanding in science, technology, and living systems, 'talk' to the architecture as well as the ecological systems around us.

By creating 'embedded' ecological technologies into current urban architecture, through festivals, art, scrap re-engineering and gardening, we could create a new level of urban architecture, that ties people back into the spaces they inhabit. By creating these systems in small scale, and in easily replicable architectural and time-based construction models, cloning becomes easy for anyone.

Sharing economy and pop up 'beacons' such as this are already beginning to show results, and communities are again slowly awakening to their spaces and environments. A move to demonstrate such projects exists in the realm of festivals, however, urban planners and land management agencies must also be willing to work for the future, being able to merge such decentralised technologies into the city plans.
