program: mapping the future
Undoubtedly, tomorrow will be different from today.
Consciously or unconsciously, we build our future. Every day, choices shape new paths and shape the image of who we are, as individuals and as a community.
As human behaviour and way of life change, buildings and cities will change too. How will cities respond to this new era?
We believe that water levels will rise, but also that the nature can continue to exist untouched on our land. As buildings become self-sufficient, they will be able to function in places where no one could previously live, such as in the sea, oceans, deserts or even floating in the sky. Connections will be more versatile digitally.
Are you ready to live in this landscape?
In 2017 we invited visitors to our exhibition Mapping the Future. We invited our guests to step into our exhibition pattern and travel to an imaginary city or landscape where the boundaries between land and water are blurred and where technology and nature live in perfect symbiosis.
The exhibition:
Mapping the Future challenged people to share their thoughts about the future society and its cities. The exhibition space filled up with a colourful pattern of triangles representing the city, private and public space, energy sources, water and land. In the pattern, hypothetical landscapes have endless compositions and the possibilities multiply as visitors add thoughts...
All responses from visitors during the DDW 2017, are compiled into the book Mapping the Future, DDW 2017
