Synopsis
Political, economic, social crises and natural disasters will be the focus of our activities in the near future. When the market responds to the top three deciles, inequality increases. Alongside gated communities, replicated towers, and branded housing, informal cities appear on an unregulated land. The opportunity to change is an action supported by a revolutionary social creative spirit modifying prevailing perceptions, planning, and familiar economic models. Its roots, adopted by start-up farms, will lead to new insights and ideas affecting our living environment. New tools such as applied research, big data processing, materials technologies and architectural/urban flexible mechanisms, predict and propose solutions to environmental problems, allowing changes in space establishing the role of the individual, culture and the collective, creating dynamic, creative surviving communities and sustainability.
