MCBW LECTURES 2015
14:00 – 17:00
What if we all generated our own energy? What if we constructed our homes on 3D printers? What if the products we consume grew from plants? What if mobility was accessible to everybody?
Digital technologies and biotechnology, upcycling and DIY strategies, concepts for self-sufficiency and community production are changing social structures and urban life substantially. Social design, open design and service design respond to the needs and ideas of urban dwellers and set new standards.
Designers and companies venture to take a look at the metropolis of the future and will answer the questions of “What if…” to take a stand.
