SMART ENVIRONMENTS: Data Projects Panel Discussion // 09.25.20

The UVASMART ENVIRONMENTS project challenges the social equity and urban spatial implications of data informatics. Funded under the Humanities Informatics Lab, our group of scholars contribute an architectural, ecological, and urban policy perspective to this 3-year project at UVA that aims at a critical, and often-neglected humanities dialogue within information studies and data science.

Faculty Directors Mona El Khafif and Jeana Ripple, and executive director Zihao Zhang (PhD in the Constructed Environment candidate), will lead a panel discussion on DATA projects developed by a team of faculty researchers at the UVA School of Architecture. The panel will be moderated by Assistant Professors of Architecture, Jose Ibarra and Katie McDonald.

The panel will be followed by a keynote lecture by Dietmar Offenhuber, Associate Professor at Northeastern University (Depts. of Art + Design and Public Policy).
