This seminar explores future city concepts through five modules—Sustainable, Resilient, Inclusive, Smart, and Multi-Scalar Cities—examining how architecture can contribute to the urban ecosystem of tomorrow. Students develop narratives on urban futures, analyzing emerging concepts of the future city in response to environmental and social challenges.
Through a mixed-methods approach, students merge human and artificial intelligence, using generative AI and traditional design tools to map, model, and visualize site-specific visions. By integrating data-driven insights with design experimentation, they explore new frameworks for adaptive urbanism. By synthesizing historical analysis with speculative futures, they engage architecture as a tool of ecological performance to create climate-responsive cities.
