Smart Cities, Smart Buildings
We integrate traditional architectural design concepts into the contemporary AI context. We envisage the future of the architecture as not being solemnly devoted to the single-customer single-building relation, rather to an interconnecting and ever-changing society, which requires a more complex approach towards space and function, shape and purpose.
A smart city is an urban area that uses different types of electronic data collection sensors to supply information which is used to manage assets and resources efficiently. This includes data collected from citizens, devices, and assets that is processed and analysed to monitor and manage traffic and transportation systems, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services. The smart city concept integrates information and communication technology (ICT), and various physical devices connected to the network (the Internet of Things or IoT) to optimise the efficiency of city operations and services and connect to citizens. Smart city technology allows city officials to interact directly with both community and city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the city and how the city is evolving.
As our first step we have already started implementing the smart building technology – both industrial and residential. This requires integrating building management systems on all levels and providing a flexible space attribution – we are thus able to constantly monitor the building ecosystems and interpret the ever-evolving needs into tangible solutions.
