RECREAC TION IN THE EMERGING SMART CIT Y PITTSBURGH, PA objective // identify opportunity within a city in relation to disruptive technology. // address with incremental programming at various scales. narrative // cities will start to shift to an experience based economy as goods and ser- vices become automatized through technology. // recreation will be utilized as an inherently positive form of an experience and can be used as a platform to build off of. // by using Pittsburgh’s existing waterfront path as a basis for a network of activity, a series of scalar program pieces are used to define and ex- pand upon a users experience. // these experiences are then fed back into a digital network to create a re- fined experience based on similar interests. // a processing center and/or nucleus of activity can be used to filter, define, discover, a multitude of experience within the network [lot, district, county].
