Webinar organized by the UPV-Las Naves with the aim of discussing the transition towards sustainability in cities, particularly in the context of multiple crises (Covid- 19, climate, inequality, care, etc.).

The dialogue revolves around questions such as: Have we built cities and societies resilient to crises? Will the coronavirus change cities and societies as we know them? What new paths towards sustainability can the crisis open in cities?

Speakers such as the director of the Valencian Building Institute (IVE), Begoña Serrano; the geographer Oriol Nel·lo; Pablo Martínez, co-founder of 300,000 km / s; and Ramón Marrades, strategic director of La Marina.

Dissenyant futurs en temps d'emergència

The fifth Design to Live Conference, curated by Òscar Guayabero, was a parallel activity in the exhibition Emergency! Designs against COVID-19 with the objective of visualizing design strategies, ways and resources. Make it clear that design can contribute to making the probable future (the one that seems most likely to happen) as closely as possible to the desirable future (the one that is committed to the common good).

Nighttime as a Unique Territory

Architect and researcher Lucía Jalón Oyarzun, Professor of Urban Media Studies Will Straw, and architects Mar Santamaría and Pablo Martínez of 300.000 Km/s lectured on March 11, 2021 as part of MAS Context’s 2021 Spring Talks series.

Today, the ability to describe and understand urban environments based on the use of data allows us to develop new perspectives beyond what is visible. It is with this information that we can document and visualize the activity cycles that characterize each city, during daytime and nighttime. The available data is a tool to begin to understand how nighttime in each city is governed, the patterns it generates, and how it defines a unique territory and human experience of our built environment.

During this event, the panelists will share their ongoing research on nighttime conditions, from the policies that shape them to their representation in media. They will also discuss cartography as an instrument to define new territories and the different cities that those cartographies reveal.

This event is part of the ongoing Nocturnal Landscapes: Urban Flows of Global Metropolises initiative. The project provides a comprehensive look at global metropolises at night, combining analysis and observation, questioning the correlation of human activity and light, and revealing hidden aspects of our cities.

This event was supported by the Barcelona City Council – Institut de Cultura de Barcelona.

The Responsive Cities Symposium / Urbanism in the Experience Age is one of the main activities carried out under the Knowledge Alliance for Advanced Urbanism - KAAU (www.ka-au.net) Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. Based on the assumption that the increasing availability of data creates new opportunities not only for monitoring and management, but also for changing the way we describe, understand and design cities, KAAU is seeking to promote the innovative education and training that emerging technologies require, developing courses, symposiums and an educational and training platform.
