The exhibition Barcelona-Beijing: Hyperconnected Cities of the Cervantes Institute of Beijing showcases projects developed this year during the Global Summer School Program – run by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia in seven different locations around the world.
15 outstanding speakers, including Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University Saskia Sassen, 54 international panelists and more than 400 visitors animated the two-day gathering, held in CaixaForum Barcelona and followed online by more than 700 spectators.
Saskia Sassen, Carlo Ratti, Philippe Rahm, Lydia Kallipoliti, Tomas Diez, Areti Markopoulou and Janet Sanz are some of the speakers of the Responsive Cities Symposium. Aim of the two-day convention is to go beyond the limitations of the #SmartCity vision, investigating Advanced Urbanism, intended as the practice of designing and planning Receptive and Reactive spaces.
On September 12, IaaC, in collaboration with the Confederation of Architectural Workshops, will participate at the opening of the #Superillapilot. The project claims the occupation by the people of the public space, to the detriment of the leading role it has enjoyed the motor vehicle all this last 50 years.
