I attended a very thought provoking lecture organised by CTVR as part of their outreach program last night. It was a mix of Communications theory and Architecture and started with a video of a 1953 film created by Ray and Charles Eames. I found this film remarkable as it explains communication theory in a most human and simple manner with real world examples. Most remarkable of all is that Ray and Charles Eames were architects and Shannon's famous paper was only published 4 years earlier.
