RUSSIA REDESIGNED

The city is resurgent. After shaking off decades of misbegotten urban renewal and endemic urban decay cities are once again flourishing. Amid this rapid growth there are aging icons that have been left behind. One of these is the Pushinsky Cinema located in the heart of Moscow, Pushkin’s Square, a cultural monument that has been marred by years of neglect. Architizer

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).
