Usman Haque (born 1971) [1] is an architect and artist who works with technology. He is known for designing large scale interactive installations and his contributions to Interactive architecture and the Internet of things. [1] [2]
Haque's interactive art has appeared at the Singapore Biennale (2006), [3] London Fashion Week (2007) [4] and has been exhibited at KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg, [5] NTT InterCommunication Center, [6] New York's Museum of Modern Art [7] and Barbican Centre. [8]
According to author Owen Hatherley, Haque’s work “defies conventional classification” and “is not what you would immediately think of as architecture”, [9] often overlapping both digital art and interactive architecture. [10] [11]
Haque’s contribution to interactive architecture is to distinguish between ‘circular mutual reaction’ and ‘linear causal response’ in designing architectural structures and environments, [12] [13] building on Gordon Pask’s cybernetics theories in creating interactive spaces. [14] [15]
Haque studied architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture [16] and was part of the Bartlett Interactive Architecture Workshop. [17]
Others include Another Life, one of Haque’s permanent interactive installations, [29] located in Bradford, UK; Assemblance, which “lets visitors sculpt and shapes beams of lasers” [sic]; [30] Cinder, an augmented reality cat designed "to get students interacting closely with the modern technology"; [31] and Starling Crossing, an “interactive road crossing that only appears when needed”. [32]
In the internet of things he is known for founding Pachube in 2007, [33] [34] an IoT data platform that “enabled hundreds of Japanese civilians to quickly and easily share weather and radiation data in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster”, [35] acquired by LogMeIn in 2011, [36] renamed Xively and sold on to Google in 2018. [37] He also founded Thingful, a search engine for the internet of things, in 2013. [38] [39]
Haque won a Japan Media Arts Festival Excellence Award in 2004 [40] and was a Brit Insurance Design Awards winner in 2008. [41] He was appointed a Design Council Ambassador in 2021 [42] and in 2022 he joined the London Mayor's Data for London Advisory Board. [43]
