Cycle studies are the science ofeveryday life, as normal as it gets. Itsfocus is the daily routine, with itshabits and rhythms as they occure inmost citizens' lifes. It is the power ofthe normal that brings stability andthe routine that ensures security. Butis is the cycles's dynamic of flow andcontinuation that prevents life fromfreezing.Cycles therefore stand for stabilitybut are at the same time the engineof change.

With this blog the research on cyclesand rhythms will be embedded in themost recent developments intechnology, covering a range of areaswith a focus on space­time relatedtechnologies.

The research is undertaken at CASACentre for Advanced SpatialAnalysis, UCL.
