HOME HOTEL IN BUENOS AIRES AMONG THE FIRST OF ITS KIND

Among the first of its kind in Buenos Aires, Home Hotel is a ‘green’ beacon leading the way in the Argentine hospitality industry. Opening over five years ago when the environmental movement was just a whisper in the city, the beautifully designed hotel reflects an air of tranquility and a calm space amid pollution and chaos. In a country where sourcing sustainable and environmentally-friendly goods can be problematic — or worse still a logistical disaster — co-owners Patricia O’Shea and Tom Rixton have persevered with their objectives of creating a hotel as green as the country will allow.

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
