While I did not attend the conference, I am interested to join the discussion.
Based on what I am seeing in the U.S. I would say to prepare yourself
for more interactions with architecture and urban studies
professionals and activists. While they can be a misunderstood tribe,
you will find that they are deeply involved in cross-disciplinary work
and discoveries. A dean at the University of Michigan's school of
architecture was involved in the NSF/NEA meetings related to SEAD.
Many of their ambitions permeate beyond what might be considered
traditional areas of their fields.
Guillermo,
Your interpretation of modes of communication has been lampooned by
many. However, I think it is very helpful to hear your perception of
it when it is mixed at one conference. To me, the idea of
communication becoming "explicit discourse" is more interesting than
it becoming homogenous.
Thanks,
Robert Thill
