Bio-Urban Design

2013 - 2014: Research Cluster 16

Claudia Pasquero, Marco Poletto

The research cluster on Bio-Urban Design pursues a non anthropocentric understanding of the urban landscape, intended as a territory of self-organization and co-evolution of multiple dynamical systems, including ecological systems, infrastructures and technological systems, social groups and political systems.

Research Topic 2:

Micro & Macro ---Urban design based on Energy Flow concerning resource and territory differentiation in Copper Corridor, Arizona, USA

2013 - 2014 : Mingjie Fan, Shihong Sun, Nan Yang, Kaikai Zhou

Research Topic 3:

Internet of energy--We designed an infrastructure that combine technology of solar and algae to create a cybernetic system. Programmatically it will form the basis for a new kind of energy and infrastructure hosting a biotechnological hub. It can create an energy internet which producing green energy though algae and people can share it with each other. This cybernetic system could test and collect the energy from the environment and support development of urban.

2013 - 2014 : Ran Li, Jiayuan Liu, Yige Liu, Yalei Wei
