Just echoing here... reflecting on an "IOT House" can mean ifferent
things depending on the understanding of what a "house" is. Some
cultures tend to see the house as a kind of safe haven in terms of
privacy. How that relates to networked things is an interesting
question. Also, parts of the house have a kind of porosity that can
inform the whole IOT thing. OTOH, the very idea of house carries a lot
of biases about social dynamics - the house as habitat for (especially
middle-class) family, the building block of industrial societies. How
can different social arrangements enabled in part by networked
technologies (but much much more heavily by changes in society in the
last decades) can provide guidelines for the redefinition of what a
house is? What kind of porosity of both information, goods and people
will a more adequate construction of places for living require? How does
that relate in first place with broader issues such as urban violence,
housing deficit, waste management and relationship with different social
groups and in second place with the very sense of "community" (what does
that mean btw?).
Also, open source city is another theme I am very much interested into.
Stephen, please let us know how that evolves...
