signitecture presented a lecture entitled Public Interfaces at sign11 Vienna via Skype on 12.2.11

Public spaces continue to face incredible design challenges as we integrate more technology and systems into the skin of our urban fabric. The practice and scope of Environmental Graphic Design continues to evolve as the user experience goes beyond the surface and expands into new domains. Disciplines have blurred and designers have the opportunity to shape, inform, and innovate next generation experiences. Designers continue to create and innovate, while learning how to navigate the frequently un-designed systems that permeate the public realm. The next generation of designers have the opportunity to embrace all forms of media to develop and touch upon the increased necessity of accessible public interfaces. The everyday spaces and scenarios of the future will be experienced in new ways and form new relationships between each of us and the mediums we encounter.
