Ebook: Shaping Knowledge Complex Social-spatial Modelling for Adaptive Organisations

How can knowledge be reconfigured so as to enhance experience, enable participation, and augment environments? Shaping Knowledge argues that knowledge is a product of human activity in a social space, and as a result is a formative resource. The book takes a step beyond ‘information visualisation’ and imagines a learning environment in which knowledge can be manipulated as an object. Practical examples from the domains of health, education, travel, museums and libraries are offered, and chapters cover knowledge and space, unpredictability and authorship, as well as agility, ubiquity and mobility.

• Applies high-level theory work to an engineering domain
• Proposes a novel approach to spatial, urban and interaction design
• Brings a rare inter-disciplinary perspective to a convergent technology
