The Ideal 21st Century City
The Ideal 21st Century City
- Site-specific cases
Sustainable technology made great leaps in the 21st century. At the beginning of the 2020’s, we are at a turning point, where such technologies will become widespread and aesthetically integrated into urban life. Why so? Cities still grow...
Too often laid aside as an ‘alternative’ development: Urban Agriculture. Yet visionary planner or politicians understand that self-sufficiency is necessary for cities to continue to grow without exhausting the world’s resources - fast.
Sustainable food culture is needed to feed growing urban populations, even more so to release pressure on rural land, everywhere on earth. As politics tiptoes, we must be idealists, artists, and visionaries and create a collective vision.
My aim is to depict, in word and imagery, a new Art of agro-Urban Life in the city, with a focus on Berlin-Brandenburg. Later, I hope to initiate international workshops which envision designs for residential areas (new construction or regeneration).
