Peter Krogh is Professor in Design at the Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark and the co-manager of the Interactive Spaces research centre. Peter is educated as an architect and his research explores the intersection of architecture and design as it is expressed in the potential of pervasive computing. His research focusses- correspondingly- on a form of interaction design that explores the potential presented by pervasive computing for extending and exploring the mutual or resonant interactions between body and space. Peter has taught extensively in design and interaction in the Schools of Architecture in the Design Department, and in the Computer Science department, at Aarhus University.
His work as co-manager (with Kaj Grønbæk) of the Interactive Spaces research centre involves; The design and implementation of IT systems that are designed with a specific focus on ensuring the seamless integration of information architectures and the physical environment (Info Gallery, Echoes of the City, Wisdom Wells), The potential presented by pervasive computing for new forms of sporting interaction and extension (iSport) and The potential for context aware computing presented by pervasive computers ubiquitous networking and mobile sensor, capture and positioning technologies (Urban Web).
Peter’s research publications are concerned with the both theoretical and pragmatic exploration of new approaches to interaction design and have, for example explored the innovative concepts of ‘Collective Interaction’ (with M.G. Petersen Designing for Collective Interaction in Randall, D. (ed) From CSCW to Web 2.0 European Developments in Collaborative Design, Springer Verlag -in Press.) and ‘Frame Shifting’ (with Thomas Markussen, Mapping Cultural Frame Shifting in INteraction Design with Blending Theory 2008 -www.ijdesgn.org). Peter is the Conference Chair (with Olav W. Bertelsen) of the DIS2010 conference. He sits on the board of the Nordic Design Research Network Nordes.org.
