About

The Urban Futures course from Architectural Association aims to investigate new computational approaches and collaborative design methodologies for the development of adaptive urban interventions – blurring the lines between physical, digital and biological spheres to create new conceptions of the city.

Overview

Focusing on Governors Island in New York City, participants will explore the unique historical context of the site and the recent attention it has attracted in the form of development and public programming, creating proposals that offer solutions to the challenges of this unique urban framework. 

The Urban Futures programme from Architectural Association will reconsider the role of the designer as that of a system architect – one who produces reconfigurable environments that can continuously generate new futures.

Insurance

All participants are responsible for securing their own travel and health insurance. Please ensure that your travel insurance also covers your personal belongings i.e. laptop, equipment, tools, passport etc. The AA takes no responsibility for lost/ stolen property.

Programme Structure

  • Experimentation is a key focus of the programme: we will question conventions through unconventional design that initiates discourse, offering novel solutions that can adapt to the changing landscapes of urban systems around the world.
