Towards the new 'urban commons': Investigating the role of data in contemporary community led responses to urban regeneration.

走向新的“城市公共空间”：调查数据在当代社区主导的城市再生反应中的作用。这一以实践为主导的研究将通过合作建筑实践的发展来调查数据在当代社区主导的再生中的作用。建筑师作为建筑环境中沟通和设计的枢纽，其作用具有独特的影响力，应该在当前的住房危机中发挥关键作用。然而，鼓励同质化和私有化的新自由主义政治已经将城市设计的动力转向了金融。伦敦的住房危机就是围绕房地产再生的斗争的例证。社区团体对再生计划提出了法律的挑战和设计建议。然而，规划和法律的过程中产生的信息的速度、数量和种类阻碍了全面对策的形成。越来越多的公开数据（如果你有时间阅读的话，你可以拥有这些数据）给令人担忧和微妙的环境增加了另一层。关于数据在这方面的作用，没有充分的公开辩论。作为晚期资本主义的症状，数据的指数生产和分析不可避免地融入了我们的生活方式。追踪从数据到分析的路径可能极其复杂。在过去的18个月里，我一直在与东伦敦的一个社区组织海关大楼人民赋权联盟（PEACH）合作，领导一个由建筑师和居民组成的团队，共同设计一个社区主导的重建计划。这个以实践为主导的研究项目将扩大这种关系，以调查数据在共同设计过程和积极的社区参与中的当前和潜在作用。该研究提出了复杂的情况作为一个机会，开发一个重新考虑的架构，使用技术，建立合作结构对新兴的“城市公地”。

Towards the new 'urban commons': Investigating the role of data in contemporary community led responses to urban regeneration.This practice-led research will investigate the role of data within contemporary community-ledregeneration through the development of a collaborative architectural practice.The role of the architect as a hub of communication and design within the built environment isuniquely influential, and should be pivotal within the current housing crisis. However, neoliberalpolitics encouraging homogenisation and privatisation have weighted the dynamics of urban designtowards finance. The housing crisis in London is exemplified through battles around estateregeneration. Community groups have responded to regeneration plans with legal challenges anddesign proposals. However, the speed, volume and variety of information produced within planningand legal processes obstructs the formation of a comprehensive response. The increasing volumes ofpublicly available data (you can have it if you have the time to read it) add another layer to thefraught and delicate circumstances. There is insufficient public debate about the role of data in thiscontext. Symptomatic of late capitalism, the exponential production and resulting analysis of data isinextricably entwined into the way we live. Tracing the path from data through to analysis can beextremely complicated.For the past 18 months I have been working with The People's Empowerment Alliance for CustomHouse (PEACH), a community group in east London, leading a team of architects and residents inorder to co-design a community-led regeneration plan. This practice-led research project will expandthis relationship in order to investigate current and potential roles of data within co-design processesand active community participation. The research proposes the intricacy of the situation as anopportunity to develop a reconsidered architecture, using technology to establish co-operativestructures towards the emerging "urban commons".
