Media House Project The House Is The Computer The Structure The Network

The Media House Project is the result of a strategic alliance between the Metapolis Group from Barcelona, the MIT Media Lab, and the Fundacio Politecnica de Catalunya, with the collaboration of the consortium I2Cat and the Elisava Design School, in order to build a prototype of an informational house. This project enables the testing of the progression of informational techniques beyond that of computers and integrates them into everyday life. As seen here, the Metapolis architects have developed an informative structure, which incorporates in just one element the physical structure, the electrical network, and the data network, which enables a dynamic and configurable link between the entities (people, objects, space, limits, networks, contents) and that which create an inhabitable environment.Guallart, Vicente is the author of 'Media House Project The House Is The Computer The Structure The Network', published 2005 under ISBN 9788460908654 and ISBN 8460908658.
