Three people I think should be involved in this -
Mary Mattingly <mary.mattingly at gmail.com> (who works with nomadic
architecture and revitalizing cities)
Mark Skwarek - mark.skwarek at gmail.com - works with Occupy and augmented
reality
and
Mark Shepard <mshepard at andinc.org> - who heads the Urban Research Group at
Eyebeam and has published an anthology with MIT on the Sentient City.
I think these people are really concerned with the issues - Shepard and
Mattingly can recommend others as well - much more, and more directly,
than I am.
Please write them, mention my name at least with Shepard and Mary; I think
they'd be fantastic.
Thanks, Alan
