title	What makes a city ‘smart’?
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 14 - no. 4, 358-371
summary	Taking advantage of information and communications technology tools and techniques for city administration, whether it is for urban planning activities, for transport solutions or many other purposes, is not a new concept. However, in order for a city to be classified as ‘smart’, a synthesis of intelligence that transcends mere utilisation is essential. This article analyses the increasing use of information and communications technology and sensing technologies in cities by examining this new way of city governing from a critical perspective. Existing projects and initiatives were investigated to find out how, and to what extent, these tools are being employed by cities. The advantages and the current shortcomings of smart city are also discussed in order to understand the viability of using these tools.

title	Smart City: Adding to the Complexity of Cities - A Critical Reflection
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2016.1.651
source	Herneoja, Aulikki; Toni Österlund and Piia Markkanen (eds.), Complexity & Simplicity - Proceedings of the 34th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland, 22-26 August 2016, pp. 651-660
summary	This paper seeks to further the state-of-the-art knowledge on what a smart city is; by analysing the smart cities across the world. It also seeks to find out how different approaches to the smart city creation influence the city. This worked based on the ongoing review on Smart Cities that was started in 2014. In particular, it is structured as follows. First, definition of "smart city" are reviewed, next typologies of smart cities were generated by analysing the different types of smart cities across the world. Following this, case studies are reported. Case studies are followed by a reflection. Paper drawn to conclusion following this section by giving research directions to take this research further.

title	Prototyping a Temporospatial Simulation Framework:Case of an Ottoman Insane Asylum
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2016.2.485
source	Herneoja, Aulikki; Toni Österlund and Piia Markkanen (eds.), Complexity & Simplicity - Proceedings of the 34th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland, 22-26 August 2016, pp. 485-491
summary	Effectively communicating the history of a complex building site using only conventional presentation techniques can be limiting. It is a challenge to present temporal changes in the site simultaneously within a spatial framework. Whereas 2D drawings typically used in architectural historical scholarship are many times cleaned abstractions, 3D models might create an illusion of "recreated reality." Both representation types distance the reader from the primary sources rather than being a mechanism to bring the reader closer to the sources. This paper reports on an interactive simulation of a fin-de-siecle Ottoman insane asylum in Istanbul. Our response to these challenges incorporates to the simulation both the temporal aspect (spanning the life of the asylum and the daily life within) and primary documents by using temporally aware 3D models and keyed descriptive markers for building programming.
