THE MAIN TOPICS

DAY 1, October 9
Future of the City

Experts predict that by 2050 the world`s population will increase to 10 billion people and the issue of overcrowded cities will be one of the most pressing. According to the leading architects, human oriented design will take the very first place. Only grasping the human needs is it possible to design a competent and sustainable space. Data analysis, machine learning, innovations in the development of transport, blockchain – these are the directions that in the future will determine not only new specs in urban spaces designing, but the city as a universal unit, affecting further human development.

DAY 2, October 10
Future of Housing

One of the current problems in the designing of new spaces or the modernization of existing ones are the changing needs of humanity. Architects around the world are testing new construction materials and digital production technologies in an effort to create new housing according to individual human requirements. A promising direction is also the production of new habitats on other planets. Companies like Foster + Partners, HASSELL, AI SpaceFactory and others are designing not only the architectural part, but also researching building structures that allow to erect objects in conditions that are completely different from the Earth environment.

DAY 3, October 11
Disruptive Technologies Shaping the New Architecture

New technologies have always stimulated innovations in the construction sphere, which means that today is an exciting time for an architect. The technological advances of the digital era provide the AEC industry with many new engines enabling to move to the next stage of designing buildings of tomorrow. Drones, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, big data and the Internet of Things – these are the new additions to the tools of the architect which will change the way we build.

Curator

Dmytro Aranchii

Dmytro Aranchii obtained 2 degrees at the same time: from Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture (Information Technologies in Architecture) and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (Computer Science). After completing his studies in Ukraine, Dmytro went to London to gain experience at the Architectural Association in the Design Research Laboratory (DRL) program, where he was a student of Theodor Spyropoulos and Patrick Schumacher, founder of the department and chairman of ZAHA Hadid Architects. The author of the book Algorithmic Methods of Architectural Forming, Dmytro also teaches computational architecture at the Faculty of Architecture at KNUSA which challenges experimental design in Ukraine based on Western educational experience.

«We are about to experience exciting architectural times in the history of mankind which are already on the doorstep»

Masterplanning of the City 2050

With more than 9 billion people living in cities by 2050, urban planning will have to go through a major change. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is quickly unfolding with the evolution of IoT, artificial intelligence, and robotics, altering the way we move, live, work and play in our artificial environment. We are witnessing a new era of both great potential and grave perils to humankind

 Paolo Testolini, Global Sector Leader – Cities and Places, Woods Bagot
12.00 – 12.30

Designing the cities of tomorrow

The city is for places of transactions. How we plan and design cities in the future is not a question of how they might look, but also about how they might be laid out as patterns of buildings and spatial connections that can deliver the social, economic and environmental value to create place. We believe that the way people move, shop and communicate around the urban environment is primed for dramatic change, and the individual traveller is at the heart of this evolution. Whilst smart cities should promise to create important business opportunities that contribute urban development, operating as one big data-driven ecosystem, it is essential to develop ways of understanding data focusing on building equitable cities – developing a science of place in which space, as the integrating framework of cities, can be measured as new technologies impact the way we experience the city. If mobility is the lifeblood of our cities that the 20thcentury city saw as the ‘city of movement’, data is the beating heart of the 21st century city as the ‘city of transactions’. The most important task for planners and designers will be to provide a flexible and adaptable continuously connected infrastructure that history has taught us to deliver places that work for people. This is the challenge, and the future is now.
