Smart Future City
The WISSENSARCHITEKTUR Laboratory of Knowledge Architecture conducts research and design work for the cities of tomorrow. In 21st century, the world population has entered urban age: the majority of people live in cities, their percentage still increasing. Fast urbanization and swift technological advance pose new challenges to urban architecture, city development and regional planning. There is a growing need for visions how to purposefully shape the development of complex urban systems. New information and communication technologies on the one hand, new methods of human integration and participation on the other, but provide a rich backdrop for progressive urban concepts. Within this scope, our lab designs collective environments for urban development, urban business models, and crowdsourcing tools that effectively support city life and society. As a boost to the lab´s activities in urban research, the “Future City Project Factory” was established in 2016, a systematic pipeline procedure for the creation of collaborative projects and ventures.
