Artificial Intelligence, Real Citizens: Using AI to Co-Design Better Neighborhoods
Finding a common language – beyond technical jargon – is essential to enable citizen science. Visualisation can be particularly useful in this context when it comes to creating scenarios in urban spaces or at the neighbourhood level. With the help of artificial intelligence, scenarios can be created in near real-time by laypersons, which can form…

Visiting Professorship at TU Wien
What are ‘digital twins’ and how can they support spatial planning and architecture? What tools and methods can we apply in this context to develop ‘nature-based and digital solutions’ and strategies for climate-resilient cities and regions, and how can we use these for collaborative approaches and more democratic processes? In the seminar “Digital Twins in…

Walk21: One Step Back, Two Steps Forward
Post-Oil Strategies for Paris: History can tell us where the robustness of urban structures has been proved by its users, by objects and by space[1]. The knowledge gained from spatial emergence and spatial agency[2] (i.e. morphology, accessibility and connectivity, modal split, density, scales as well as place) can be applied to find out how urban…
