A Few Points on a Smart (or Senseable) City

Smart is the new 'green'. Smart city, smart transport, smart buildings - the label smart is now often used and abused. After reviewing the principles behind the 'smart city' concept - which Carlo prefers to call 'senseable city', this presentation will discuss ten areas of innovative applications. From transport to energy to civic engagement, something that could be called a decalogue for a senseable/smart city.

An architect and engineer by training, Carlo Ratti practices in Italy and directs the MIT Senseable City Lab. He graduated from the Politecnico di Torino and the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris, and later earned his MPhil and PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK. Carlo holds several patents and has co-authored over 200 publications. Forbes listed him as one of the ‘Names You Need To Know’ in 2011 and Fast Company named him as one of the ’50 Most Influential Designers in America’. He was also featured in Wired Magazine’s ‘Smart List 2012: 50 people who will change the world’.

PHILIPP RODEExecutive DirectorLSE Cities

Going Green: How Cities are Leading the Next Economy

Going Green: How cities are leading the next economy is research based on a major global survey of 90 city governments and a case study analysis of innovative green strategies in eight cities. The survey was conducted by LSE Cities, ICLEI – local governments for sustainability and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), in order to closely analyse the strengths and weaknesses of cities as key contributors to the emerging green economy. 

Going Green offers a fresh perspective on the environmental challenges that cities face, along with the opportunities and barriers to going green and fostering economic growth. The survey covers key aspects of green policies and the green economy, smart city technology, green policy assessment and urban governance. It provides a comprehensive overview of the experiences of cities around the world as they make the transition to a green economy.

Philipp Rode is Executive Director of LSE Cities and Senior Research Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is Ove Arup Fellow with the LSE Cities Programme and co-convenes the LSE Sociology Course on ‘City Making: The Politics of Urban Form’. As researcher and consultant he manages interdisciplinary projects comprising urban governance, transport, city planning and urban design. Rode organised Urban Age conferences in partnership with Deutsche Bank’s Alfred Herrhausen Society in ten cities bringing together political leaders, city mayors, urban practitioners, private sector representatives and academic experts.

FABIO GRAMAZIOChair for Architecture and Digital FabricationETH Zurich

Digital Materiality in Architecture

Fabio Gramazio will lecture about Digital Materiality, a term describing an emergent transformation in the expression of architecture. Materiality is increasingly being enriched with digital characteristics, which substantially affect architecture’s physis. Digital materiality evolves through the interplay between digital and material processes in design and construction. The synthesis of two seemingly distinct worlds – the digital and the material – generates new, self-evident realities. Data and material, programming and construction are interwoven. This synthesis is enabled by the techniques of digital fabrication, which allows the architect to control the manufacturing process through design data. Material is thus enriched by information; material becomes “informed.” In the future, architects’ ideas will permeate the fabrication process in its entirety. This new situation transforms the possibilities and thus the professional scope of the architect.   Fabio Gramazio is an architect with multi-disciplinary interests ranging from computational design and robotic fabrication to material innovation. In 2000, he founded the architecture practice Gramazio & Kohler in conjunction with his partner Matthias Kohler, where numerous award-wining designs have been realized, integrating novel architectural designs into a contemporary building culture. Trained at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zurich, his integral approach to practice and research focuses on the interplay of digital design and material processes through advanced construction methodologies. Since 2005, Gramazio & Kohler have held the Chair for Architecture and Digital Fabrication at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zurich. Founding the world’s first architectural robotic laboratory, the pioneering investigations of Fabio Gramazio concentrate on non-standardized architectural design and additive fabrication processes through the customized use of industrial robots. A significant amount of research has been accomplished addressing scales ranging from 1:1 prototypical installations to the design of robotically fabricated high-rise buildings. Currently Fabio Gramazio’s research is focusing on adaptive design strategies for constructive material systems and in-situ robotic fabrication. 

CONOR RIFFLEHead of CitiesCDP

Conor Riffle serves as Head of Cities at CDP. Under his leadership, CDP’s cities program has achieved international recognition as the premier platform for cities to report their climate change data.

Conor’s opinions on cities and climate change appear frequently in GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and Cities Today. Prior to his role at CDP, Conor served in various roles at the William J. Clinton Foundation in New York, including Foreign Policy Fellow and as a member of the team that developed and ran the second annual Clinton Global Initiative in 2006. At the Clinton Foundation, Conor was an early employee of the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), where he worked with large city governments around the world—including Karachi, Johannesburg, Tokyo, and Seoul—on greenhouse gas reduction projects and helped to set up CCI offices in North America, Asia, and Africa. Conor graduated magna cum laude in History from Connecticut College and holds an MA in History of International Relations from the London School of Economics.

DAVID BENJAMINFounding PrincipalThe Living

Now We See Now

Cities are living, breathing organisms. In the context of new technologies and new urban challenges, there is a great opportunity to create new living, breathing design ecosystems. These design ecosystems will link complex flows of people, resources, data, and energy. They will involve work on multiple scales simultaneously. They will anticipate and welcome rapid change. Within these new design ecosystems, architects and technologists will have to embrace design with uncertainty, design with shifting and unknowable forces, and design without complete control. This talk will explore examples of these design ecosystems. It will describe a series of projects and prototypes that draw on sensor data, generative algorithms, digital simulation, automated fabrication, and synthetic biology to create buildings and cities that are more adaptive, regenerative, and alive.

David Benjamin is Founding Principal of The Living and Director of the Living Architecture Lab at Columbia University. The Living creates full-scale, functioning prototypes of the architecture of the future. Clients include the City of New York, Seoul Municipal Government, Airbus, Autodesk, Nike, 3M, Kanye West, and Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology. Recent projects include Living City (a platform for buildings to talk to one another), Amphibious Architecture (a cloud of light above the East River that changes color according to water quality), and Architecture Bio-synthesis (a new process for bio-computation and bio-manufacturing of high-performance building materials through synthetic biology).

GILLES RETSINCo-FounderSoftKill Design

Testing the Boundaries of Large-Scale 3D Printing

Gilles Retsin will present SoftKill Design's prototype for a 3D printed house. The prototype investigates the architectural potential of the latest additive manufacturing technologies, testing the boundaries of large scale 3D printing by designing with computer algorithms that micro-organize the printed material itself. The Softkill house is the first project to move away from heavy, compression based 3d printing of on-site buildings, instead proposing lightweight, high resolution, optimised structures which, at life scale, are manageable truck-sized pieces that can be printed off site and later assembled on site. The presentation will further speculate on how new computational design methodologies and advanced fabrication techniques could radically change the way we build the cities of the future.

Gilles Retsin is a London based architect holding a Masters in Architecture + Urbanism (Dist) from the Architectural Association School of Architecture’s Design Research Laboratory (AA.DRL).He is co- founder of SoftKill Design, a collective design studio with Nicholette Chan, Aaron Silver and Sophia Tang, investigating generative design methodologies for additive manufacturing. He is lecturer at the University of East London and runs a research cluster investigating 3D printing strategies for architecture at University College London. He also teaches for the AA in Shanghai and Beijing, focusing on computational design methodologies for the new mega-city. SoftKill Design has succesfully prorotyped one of the world’s first coherent designs prototypes for a completely 3d printed house. The work of SoftKill Design has been widely published, most notably in Wired, Dezeen and The Observer.   

SAM HILLCo-Founder,PAN Studio

Hello Lamp Post

In 2014 PAN Studio launched Hello Lamp Post – an 8 week, city-wide installation across Bristol, commissioned by Watershed Art Trust for the Playable City Award. Hello Lamppost brought thousands of objects across the city to life – including (but not limited to) post boxes, lamp posts, bus stops and parking meters. By referencing the existing identifier codes seen on these items of street furniture, the people of Bristol could converse back and forth with objects via text message. The project served as a platform that encouraged people to share their observations, memories and opinions of city locations.

Sam Hill is an experience designer and co-founder of design practice PAN Studio, producing interactive objects for installations and immersive theatre, and creating experimental objects designed to find new ways of enriching everyday living. This year Sam has spoken internationally about the value of experience in design and how it relates to memory and can improve our future cities, including at UnBox Festival in New Delhi, Replayce: The City in Zurich and TEDx Hamburg. Sam is also a visiting tutor at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

NEIL SPILLERDean of the School of Architecture, Design and ConstructionUniversity of Greenwich

The Surreal Sustainable City of the Future

The City is a massive engine of chance, we are at once infatuated with it, inebriated by it, entertained by it, scared and scarred by it. We are cast, like drunken sailors, in its vagrant geometries, its sublime vistas, its random street life and its astounding possibilities for personal experience. We navigate the City and our lives in constant negotiation with other people, animals and things. These negotiations are spatially multi-dimensional. Equally, we have to keep our wits about us, for the City is a bewitching, feral lover where love and death call in equal measure. Cities don’t just occur at the anthropomorphic or the super anthropomorphic scale, they happen in rooms, within carpets and in mouths, they also might happen across galaxies. This kaleidoscopic perception of the City was recognised and pursued vigorously by the Surrealists, who explored its magnetic desires in paintings, graphics, sculpture, prose, poetry, performance but oddly, relatively few examples of architecture and building. However, I believe these surrealist researches and a lot of what was inspired by them subsequently, have much to teach us about the possibilities of contemporary architecture and how we might educate the architects of the twenty first Century.

IoT: Smart Cities Involve Citizens

With so much talk of a huge unmet opportunity to apply technology and create efficient Smart Cities in our Internet of Things era, we must remember that these new cities have to serve citizens. Citizens will use and benefit from technology advancements, and they will take part in the decision process and implementation. And whether the impetus stems from cities offering services, citizens cooperating with companies, or citizens on their own, through Open Data initiatives or crowdsourcing, we have learned that they have a lot to say about it!

Alicia Asín is the co-founder and CEO of Libelium, the Zaragoza, Spain based wireless sensor hardware provider, creators of Waspmote, a modular, open source sensor platform for the Internet of Things (IoT). Alicia is a computer engineer focused on how IoT can change our world, starting with Smart Cities.

MANU FERNANDEZFounder,Human Scale City

Forget the Smart Cities of the Future: It is Happening Now

Certain discourses and visions about smart cities look into the future to show the promises of digital techonologies. In this approach there is a underlying negative attitude about the cities we are already living – the mess and chaotic disorder of cities will be finally resolved thanks to command and control-, also hiding new civic engagement practices and collaborative processes already happening.  These practices hardly appear in the most apologetic bird´s eye visions of smart cities but, in the end, they are changing and expanding in a silent way the role of citizens. 

Manu Fernandez is an urban strategist, the founder of Human Scale City urban agency ( w w w. h u m a n s c a l e c i t y. o r g ) a n d t h e a u t h o r o f C i u d a d e s a E s c a l a H u m a n a b l o g (www.ciudadesaescalahumana.org). As a researcher and urban policy consultant for the last ten years, he has always been involved in projects relating to local sustainability and urban economies. He is currently focused on three areas: adaptive urbanism strategies to actívate vacant sites, the intersection of digital and social perspectives of bottom-up smart cities and, the link of social creativity and local economic development. Manu holds a master´s degree in sustainability management and is a graduate in Laws and Economics.

Realtime Data,  Augmented and Virtual Reality mixed with The Internet of Things: Towards the Smart Citizen and ultimately a Smart City

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data — so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. This data comes from everywhere: sensors used to gather climate information, posts to social media sites, digital pictures and videos, purchase transaction records, and cell phone GPS signals to name a few (IBM, 2103). This data can, compared to traditional data sources, be defined as ‘big’. Cities and urban environments are the main sources for big data, every minute 100,000 tweets are sent globally, Google receives 2,000,000 search requests and users share 684,478 pieces of content on Facebook (Mashable, 2012). An increasingly amount of this data stream is geolocated, from Check-ins via Foursquare through to Tweets and searches via Google Now, the data cities and individuals emit can be collected and viewed to make the data city visible, aiding our understanding of now only how urban systems operate but opening up the possibility of a real-time view of the city at large (Hudson-Smith, 2014). The talk explores systems such as The City Dashboard (http://www.citydashboard.org) and the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) in terms of data collection, visualization and analysis. Joining these up creates a move towards the Smart City and via innovations in IoT a look towards augmented reality pointing towards the the creation of a 'Smart Citizen' and ultimately a Smart City.

Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith is Director of the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) at The Bartlett, University College London. Andy is a Reader in Digital Urban Systems and Editor-in-Chief of Future Internet Journal, he is also an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a member of the Greater London Authority Smart London Board and Course Founder of the MRes in Advanced Spatial Analysis and Visualisation and MSc in Smart Cities at University College London.

ENRICO DINIChairmanD-Shape

Every Building is A Prototype - Large Scale 3D Printing in Building Construction

In this talk, Enrico will describe introduce the D-SHAPE technology through the history of his inventing process since the first trials to the latest developments introducing the concept of Archinature,as the final outcome of his exploration.

Enrico Dini is an Italian civil engineer who spent most of his career in automation and robotics for the footwear industry. Since the late 90’s Enrico came into contact with rapid prototyping techniques used to facilitate the design of the shoes. In 2003, while he was 3D printing a shoe sole, Enrico had a vision of this technique applied on a large scale and imagined a new free form architecture. Enrico decided to return to its original skill enriched by his experience in robotics and since then has devoted his life to developing a new construction technique based on the principles of stereolitograpy. In 2007 helped from his trusted brother Riccardo, Enrico tested successfully his large scale D-Shape printer prototype and the following year he printed the Radiolaria, the first free-form building structure ever. Today Enrico Dini is immersed in developing D-Shape, 3D Printing Building technology to bring innovation to the architecture and construction industries.

MISCHA DOHLERChair Professor King’s College London

Designing Smart Cities in 2014

“Smart Cities” – a trendy phrase likely to be hackneyed before even having achieved anything tangible in improving urban living conditions. Consultants, policy makers, think tanks – they all paint a rosy future for and through these smart cities. However, there are a few of us out there who are actually sweating to make cities smart. Today. In this talk, I will review some 10 burning challenges we face as of the design year 2014, where focus is mainly on the use and deployment of smart city infrastructure rather than social, citizen and many other aspects.

CLAUDIA PASQUEROCo-FounderecoLogicStudio

Sythesizing Renewable Energies into Food & Power

The Bio Urban Design Lab promotes a non anthropocentric understanding of the urban landscape, intended as a territory of self-organization and co-evolution of multiple systems, and prefigures a future bio-active city able to synthesize renewable energies into food and power as well as wastes into raw material for construction and growth. On one side we research bio-mimetic models of self-organization to develop adaptive urban planning strategies, while on the other we investigate the integration of bio-technological and digital communication systems for re-metabolising the urban fabric. The lecture introduces how social insects like ants can become valuable models of bottom up and adaptive design of new urban agriculture networks, and how urban microalgae can be grown in a new breed of digitally augmented "cyber-Gardens", installed in London, Paris, Milan and the Osterlin region of Sweden.

Sythesizing Renewable Energies into Food & Power

The Bio Urban Design Lab promotes a non anthropocentric understanding of the urban landscape, intended as a territory of self-organization and co-evolution of multiple systems, and prefigures a future bio-active city able to synthesize renewable energies into food and power as well as wastes into raw material for construction and growth. On one side we research bio-mimetic models of self-organization to develop adaptive urban planning strategies, while on the other we investigate the integration of bio-technological and digital communication systems for re-metabolising the urban fabric. The lecture introduces how social insects like ants can become valuable models of bottom up and adaptive design of new urban agriculture networks, and how urban microalgae can be grown in a new breed of digitally augmented "cyber-Gardens", installed in London, Paris, Milan and the Osterlin region of Sweden.

Marco is an architect, author and educator. After graduating with Honors from Turin Polytechnic in Italy, Marco moved to London to study at the Architectural Association. He worked in London as an environmental designer with Battle McCarthy before co-founding the ecoLogicStudio in 2006. Marco has lectured and taught internationally and as been Unit Master at the AA in London from 2007 to 2012 and Visiting Lecturer at the IAAC, Barcelona, and Cornell University, Ithaca. He is co-author of “Systemic Architecture: operating manual for the self-organising city” published by Routledge in July 2012. He now leads the BIO Urban Design Research Cluster at the Bartlett , UCL.

Community Architecture Workshop: How Entrepreneurship Will Lead Communities out of Poverty

Kansara Hackney Ltd (KH) aims to alleviate poverty through community architecture, which began when one of the two directors, Dr Rod Hackney, realized that the root of the sustainability debate lay in tapping neglected human potential. To satisfy the UN-Habitat alleviation of slum conditions, KH involves local slum dwellers with professional enablers, who live and work within the shantytowns, through a self-help programme of renovation and social improvement.

The slum-energizing programme began in 1971 with Dr Hackney’s house in Black Road, which like 1.5 million other UK homes, was classified by the government as "unfit for human habitation". Community Architecture’s role in resisting the inevitable demolition of houses and championing of an alternative sustainable self-build programme, involves all slum residents. Join the KH team and learn how to set-up your own Community Architecture Project. We work through the tools necessary, pit-falls and numerous examples to get your show on the road!

Tia is an award-winning director of Kansara Hackney Ltd. In 2010, she wrote the brief and appointed the architects Foster+Partners for SAMBA‘s multi-million dollar headquarters, as the first female to judge a LEED platinum building in Saudi Arabia. She’s on London Business School Global Energy Summit’s executive committee, Co-director of the international CleanTechChallenge, the Gulf ambassador of the UCL Bartlett, Siemen’s list of Future Influencers and Global Ambassador of the Sandbox Network.

Currently completing her Ph.D. at UCL on designing future cities whilst creating the first energy baseline in the Gulf.

Rod Hackney's Inner City objective is a simple one. Only by living in slums can professionals and communities efficiently work together to overcome crowded, dirty, and run-down environments. His successful results alleviated poverty, halted social decay, degradation and riots, whilst creating sustainable jobs, recycling waste, reducing harmful emissions and producing green environments. His slum upgrading skills were acknowledged by the Paris based Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA). The UIA Sir Robert Mathew Prize citation stated that Rod Hackney’s "work represents an extremely innovative approach to community architecture. Here, as a member of the community, the architect assumes the role of organizer and teacher, helping people to improve their own living environment. The technology transfer is part of a process in community design and reconstruction”.

Future Londoners

A series of imaginary characters created to explore the possibilities of urban life in the future. It's 2023 in London. You can make a phone call on your watch and report a traffic jam with a button on your glasses. But how will we really live, work and play? What kinds of constraints and opportunities will future Londoners face? The profiles of these imaginary Londoners can never be perfect or all inclusive. They are a tool for exploring the needs and desires we should consider when designing a smarter London.

Paper Prototyping the City

Joel Gethin Lewis, co-founder of Hellicar&Lewis will discuss paper prototyping and some previous outcomes of this technique related to how everyone can think about urban futures. Paper prototyping is a technique that allows individuals and groups to ignore awkward constraints on innovation such as funding, ability and experience to get to the core of an idea quickly - before large capital outlay. He will focus particularly on the filtering down of technologies from the military, to large corporations and finally to artists and individuals.

Joel Gethin Lewis first studied Mathematics and Computer Science at Imperial, before completing an MA in Interaction Design at the Royal College of Art in 2003. Post-graduation he worked at Benetton’s communication research centre, Fabrica, before returning to London where he worked as the interaction designer at UnitedVisualArtists - collaborating and touring with the likes of Battles, U2 and Massive Attack, as well as creating installation works such as Monolith, Volume and Hereafter. After discovering openFrameworks in 2007 through Chris O'Shea, Lewis co-founded Hellicar&Lewis in 2008 with Pete Hellicar. The business was founded with the aim of building a creative business around Open Source.

CHRIS BRAUERCAST Co-Director and Senior LecturerGoldsmiths, University of London

Wearable Tech and the Evolution of Cities

Research has compared the evolution of cities to human biology through both sublinear growth in relation to energy consumption and superlinear growth in relation to innovation and creativity. This talk explores the potential roles of two urban interventions - the 'human cloud' of wearable tech and cryptocurrencies - in the catabolism (build-up) and anabolism (break-down) of cities.

Dr Chris Brauer is a Senior Lecturer and Director of the MSc Management of Innovation programme and the Centre for Creative and Social Technologies (CAST) in the Institute of Management Studies (IMS) at Goldsmiths, University of London. Chris was formerly a journalist and a programmer and his research interests are in the intersections of emerging technologies and social life, psychology, economics, and culture.

PAULA HIRSTFounding DirectorDisruptive Urbanism

Incentives for Collaboration

As more people move to cities, and more pressure is put on existing resources, increasingly many are asking whether there are better ways to conduct business, deliver public services, and plan and design cities. Innovate, do things differently, collaborate rather than work in silos, and yet often we don’t. And if we do, it’s frequently because we go the extra mile, rather than simply business as usual, as we often lack the right incentives to collaborate. Changing these incentives will be crucial to achieving the scale and pace of change needed if our cities are to remain competitive in the future.

Paula is the founding director of Disruptive Urbanism, adapting and creating new business models for sustainable urban development and regeneration to respond to changes in finance, technology, demographics, and the environment. Paula’s career spans the public and private sectors within the UK, mainland Europe and the Middle East, including for Atkins, Mazars, the Greater London Authority, and the Olympic Delivery Authority, where as the Head of Sustainable Development she negotiated agreement to create one of the most sustainable urban developments in Western Europe. Paula is a passionate Londoner who in her spare time works to reinvigorate her local high street, Roman Road.

The Story of London: Understanding Urban Dynamics with Differential Trace Analysis

How Londoners move within the city? Is there any recognizable spatio-temporal pattern in their mobility structure? What these patterns tell us about the underlying behavior of the Londoners and their relationship with the city? Do the functional faces of different parts of the city influence Londoners mobility, and furthermore, how these faces evolve through out the day? Answers to such questions have implications ranging from urban infrastructure improvement to future urban planning to citizen life enhancement. Drawing upon a case study on London city, in this talk I will offer a reflection on how the combination of public transit traces and crowd-sourced geographical data can be used effectively to model the behavior of urban citizens and the city itself.

Fahim leads the Internet of Things Research group at Bell Labs. His current work focuses on building user centered systems for offering network Intelligence driven opportunistic interaction experience in a connected space.

PREVIOUS SPONSORS

The Future Cities Catapult is a global centre of excellence on urban innovation. A place where cities, businesses and

universities come together to develop solutions to the future needs of our cities. Future Cities Catapult is one of seven

‘Catapults' launched by the UK's Technology Strategy Board. The aim for each of them is to become a world-leading

innovation centre in its own specialist area. 

PREVIOUS EXHIBITORS & SUPPORTING PARTNERS

Stampay is a data-centric loyalty platform providing in-store retailers the technology to create a more personalized

experience and a better understanding of their customers. Physical stores can act on the behavior and data of their

customers in compelling ways to engage, retain and attract with the utilization of online marketing tools and technology,

resulting in the empowerment of local stores. Stampay essentially creates a bridge between offline retail merchants

and online loyalty and marketing tools and provide the technology for retailers to leverage their physical stores as a competitive differentiator, as we think offline needs the same

tools as online.
