AHRA 2019 - ARCHITECTURE & COLLECTIVE LIVING

Im Rahmen der 16. Internationalen Konferenz der Architectural Humantities Research Association (AHRA) an der Universität Dundee hält Falk Schneemann im Rahmen des Round Tables Adaptive Cities einen Vortrag mit dem Titel: Adaptive Typologies – From Tower to Garage Flat

 

The current time is driven by the certainty that cities are growing rapidly, or entirely new cities are built. And the uncertainty of which technologies are evolving that influence how we live, move and work – how our cities will be organized. Uncertain is also the availability of resources and the effects of climate change.

Our city planning and built work is measured against efficiency, performance, impact and adaptability – today and in the future – whenever adaptions are needed. Can we win back public space, re-use existing buildings, repurpose infrastructure and use technology to connect people and services and empower the citizens to participate – to implement meaningful functions?

How do we future proof existing and new cities in a way that they can adapt to new conditions? A holistic, human-centered approach to urban development is key for a more liveable urban environment that can change with the needs of the communities.

 

Climate change, digitalization, demographic shifts ask for flexibility of the DNA of the City. This can trigger a greater mix of use - productive cities and lead to changes to major infrastructure like Portscapes. Productive Cities will generate new adaptive typologies.
