What role can media architecture play in activating public spaces and engaging audiences around issues of communal concern?
For the 4th edition of the MAB live cast, we are inviting a group of multidisciplinary speakers to discuss media architecture through the lens of civic interaction design.
What role can media architecture and new technologies play in the representation of social themes and in the organisation of public debate and public spaces? How can media architecture be used in engagement processes and to which new forms of social organisation could it contribute? And how can the design of digital media contribute to improving the interaction between citizens and institutions?

- Nancy Odendaal – Associate Professor: City and Regional Planning at University of Cape Town
- Eric Gordon – Director and Professor, Engagement Lab at Emerson College
- Michiel Schwarz – Sustainism Lab, co-creator of the Sustainism manifesto
