Responsive Cities 2023 // Advanced Architecture Group
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and the Green Skills for Cities partnership are delighted to announce the Call for Papers for the biennial international symposium, Responsive Cities 2023, a global platform to experiment and rethink urban environments in response to today’s global challenges. Building upon the success of previous editions, we invite researchers, practitioners, scholars and innovators from various disciplines to contribute to the 2023 symposium, centered around the theme of "Collective Intelligence Design". Responsive Cities 2023 Symposium seeks to delve into the emerging paradigm of collective intelligence in the processes of city making. As cities continue to evolve in complexity and interconnectedness in the context of the climate emergency, embracing new forms of intelligence that go beyond human perspectives becomes the cornerstone for the future of urbanity. Collective Intelligence Design promotes an emerging collective intelligence paradigm that empowers the applications of co-creation, following generative processes of both the living and the machine. This post anthropocentric approach highlights a unique combination of crowd wisdom and artificial intelligence that, together with other forms of intelligences including animal, vegetable, or microbial, marks a significant milestone in the creation of our future green cities. By embracing new forms of intelligence in design, architecture and cities can transcend anthropocentric perspectives and cultivate a new ecological, technological but also cultural paradigm of inhabitation where inclusivity lies in its core. This shift recognizes that cities are alive and dynamic ecosystems interconnected with the natural world, while acknowledging the interdependencies among humans, non human, cultural and technological others.
