CITY AND TECHNOLOGY

?????

How can data visualization and mapping reveal hidden patterns in the urban environment?
How can citizen participation allow us to design urban infrastructures that respond to citizen and the environmental inputs?
How would Shenzhen’s neighborhoods change if their mobility system became responsive to the needs and patterns of pedestrian flows instead of cars?

Over the last decades a new generation of cities and urban planning paradigms have emerged. Technology has risen as a driving force defining new urban developments and government’s decisions. Cities have started to implement technology at different scales, providing more accurate models describing its functions, organization and relationships. 

GSS Shenzhen is a 2 week studio-based course, from 2nd to 14th of July, which focuses on the intersection between urbanism, ICT technologies and digital fabrication, with the aim to explore the application of new paradigms on the alteration of the urban environment.

The participants will explore how Shenzhen’s mobility plans can be dynamically and responsively optimised through the introduction of alternative ways of transportation, the use of real time data and systemic analyses of the application of ICT in order to tackle the growing issue of pollution in China.

The course aims to challenge the traditional static representation of the city and to understand it as an environment in continuous fluxes and dynamic change. In this way urbanism becomes a dynamic entity which responds to the forces which shape its growth, evolution, and transformation over time.

By analysing and visualising data through coding and mapping techniques and by using the latest digital fabrication methods, the GSS Shenzhen participants will inform their strategic decision making and use it to design and visualize solutions to improve the efficiency of mobility and accessibility in the neighborhoods of Shenzhen. The participants will explore the ways in which the combination of these tools can redefine the way in which we move in the city and interact with public space by shaping a new digital relationship with the urban environment.

Projects can explore different methodologies that integrate data analysis and mapping, design of public space and modes of transportation, service infrastructure, user interaction, technologies of information and digital fabrication. This will allow the participants to develop a new vocabulary of city services and new models of city management that push our common understanding of public space.

STRUCTURE

????

IAAC Global Summer School is a full-time two weeks course, 2-14 July 2018, that provides both practical and theoretical knowledge. The program is led by expert tutors, combined with lectures by renowned professionals and academics relevant to the topics to be treated during the course. These will be broadcasted in the different node-cities, all globally connected. Participants will join a global agenda and an international laboratory at their disposal to test their design hypothesis, understanding how design conclusions derived locally can be tested and evolved globally in the different cities where other teams reside. The course will be comprised of modules that will include the topics of data analysis & visualisation, GIS mapping, 3D modelling, and digital fabrication.
