from a research project on how digital modes of deliberation and
representation are co-evolving with structures of public planning,
design, and policy. That research focuses on representations of the
public and representations to the public in the process of rebuilding
Lower Manhattan after 9/11. Combining ideas from John Dewey and
methods from science and technology studies, it analyzes multiple publics
as socio-technical assemblages. Who's demonstrating?
Architects demonstrate.<br>
