DESCRIPTION:A collaborative workshop between the Centre for Music and Scie
 nce and the Dutch national City Rhythm project\, University of Amsterdam.\
 n\nDescription\n\nWhile many cities are becoming safer in terms of crimina
 l statistics\, people are feeling less safe\, evidenced in Amsterdam\, the
  Hague\, and Rotterdam. How do citizens trust and come to mistrust?\n\nThe
  City Rhythms project of Holland has proposed to investigate safety and tr
 ust in the different neighbourhoods of cities by analysing the rhythms of 
 these neighbourhoods. The project defines rhythm as being variation in a p
 attern in a given structure. The researchers invented beats\, base and str
 eet rhythms\, a result of the analysis of specific datasets about neigbour
 hoods using the Mixed Hidden Markov Model.\n\nQuestions addressed:\n•   
  How does rhythm relate to our wellbeing?\n•    how can we translate rhy
 thm to the data world?\n•    Rhythm is territorium (Deleuze and Guatari)
  and it is also culture\, so it includes and excludes. What does this mean
  for neighborhood design?\n•    What does synchronisation actually trigg
 er or cause or make emerge?\n•    Rhythm and self-organisation are drivi
 ng forces in networks.  How does self-organization relate to the tuning of
  rhythm?\n\nThe City Rhythm project is led by Caroline Nevejan\, who was r
 ecently made Professor by special appointment at the University of Amsterd
 am\, in the field of Designing Urban Experience.\n\nPresenting with her ar
 e the principle team members on the project: Pinar Seftkali\, who is an ar
 chitect and PhD researcher\, and Sirish Kumar Manji\, renowned Tabla Maest
 ro. Pinar will present a rhythm analysis methodology from an architecture 
 perspective\, and Sirish will explore with Caroline Nevejan what rhythm is
  and within the context of urban data. Ian Cross\, the Director of the CMS
 \, will explain how synchrony enables us to ‘join in’ (based on the CM
 S Joining In project)\, and Satinder Gill\, Research Affiliate with the CM
 S\, will speak with Caroline Nevejan on rhythm of engagement and self-orga
 nisation in networks.\n\nWe invite you to join us in this discussion.
