 My name is Adam Greenfield and I'm the Managing Director of Urban Scale Practice in New York City. I think the sense that a lot of the things that I take for granted that I almost think of as cliché to the point that they might not even necessarily need to be stated are yet very active, very live, very contentious fields of debate. It's sort of a personal reflection for me. It's not so much some of the global ideas coming out of the conference itself, if you'll forgive me, but marching orders for us in our practice. But we need to make much stronger and clearer what our arguments are, why we believe in them, why we believe. What model of the public good is inscribed in the designs that we're trying to release to the world and offering to people? There's a class of objects that operate in public space that I think of as public objects. Things that gather information, that process information, that display information, and we're even capable of taking physical action on information. That almost seems self-evident to me that we should be cautious, very cautious, and even concerned about who collects that information, where it goes, what is done with it, how it's identified, what it winds up being used for. It's close to being inarguable that we have pretty good reason to be concerned about unwanted collection attempts or indeed porous boundaries around the collection of information. I think that history teaches us what that information is very often used for. That's what I'm going to take away with me is that we need to be very, very much more concrete about why we think the things we do, the evidentiary support we bring to that, maybe it's appropriate that so many people hear from faculties of law, I kind of feel like I've been taught to think like a lawyer in terms of the probative value of statements. That's not necessarily a viewpoint that as designers we're used to bringing to things, but again, as participants in a public sphere, as actors in the public domain and in the public space, maybe it isn't incumbent upon us to learn to think and speak like that. So that's what I carry away from the day.
