?? Can AI help create sustainable cities? ??? In this webinar we co-organized with Cornell Tech, Tanya Tsui (Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MIT Senseable City Lab), Ruth Nelson (Spatial Data Scientist at Delft University of Technology) and Josefine H. (Doctoral Researcher at Technische Universit?t Berlin) explored how AI can drive urban sustainability, fostering circular, inclusive, and low-carbon cities. Curious to learn more?

This Thursday Carlo unveiled “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.”, the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (2025) he is curating. ?Architecture has always been a response to a hostile climate. From the earliest "primitive hut," human design has been led by the need for shelter and survival, driven by optimism: our creations have always strived to bridge the gap between a harsh environment and the safe, livable spaces we require.? says Carlo Ratti in his curatorial statement: ?When the systems that have long guided our understanding begin to fail, new forms of thinking are needed. For decades, architecture’s response to the climate crisis has been centered on mitigation—designing to reduce our impact on the climate. But that approach is no longer enough. The time has come for architecture to embrace adaptation: rethinking how we design for an altered world.? Architecture has to move from ‘mitigation’ to ‘adaptation’: ?In the time of adaptation, architecture is at the center and must lead with optimism. In the time of adaptation, architecture needs to draw on all forms of intelligence – natural, artificial, collective. In the time of adaptation, architecture needs to reach out across generations and across disciplines - from the hard sciences to the arts. In the time of adaptation, architecture must rethink authorship and become more inclusive, learning from science.?
