Proceedings of the ARTEPOLIS 8 - the 8th Biannual International Conference (ARTEPOLIS 2020)
It is our pleasure to introduce these proceedings of Arte-Polis8 International Conference. The Arte-Polis is a biannual place-making conference that had been going on since 2006. The conference is about sharing and learning from international and local experiences regarding current issues, best practices, and policy implications of creative connectivity on place-making. The Arte-Polis8 was held on 3-4 September 2020 through our online platform, arte-polis8.live, that was connected to Zoom and broadcasted to YouTube. The theme was “Creative Society and the Making of Place: Redefining Space in the Digital Era.” To this extent, we highlighted the creative community phenomenon along with the technology development, the daily use of the internet, and the impacts on human’s behavior pattern. The raised questions were: What is the form of space that appears in this digital era relating to architecture and the built environment? How far has it progressed? What is its distinctive character? Furthermore, how do we anticipate the future?
The theme was arranged in three parts of subthemes. The first was dedicated to discussing humanizing the creative design process in the digital era. In this part, the discussions covered the human-centered creative design process, human values and creative design process, also epistemology of creative behavior and artificial intelligence. The second addressed the design and production of space in the digital era, including discussion about collaborative and collective design methods of digital natives: computational, generative, evolutionary techniques in creative design and making, design cognition versus machine intelligence, x-reality, artificial space, and the environment in stimulating experiences. The last focused on urban creativity and place-making in the digital era. In this part, the discourses reviewed contextualizing social and cultural dynamics into creative planning and design processes along with informed design and decision support systems.
