The Future of Architecture & Cities of Tomorrow w/ CARLO RATTI, Director of MIT's Senseable City Lab

"What we need to do is learn from nature. If you think about how nature progresses through trial and error. I'm really a fan of how we can do open designs that citizens can respond to, and use the feedback in order to create similar systems to what happens in nature."Our guest today is Carlo Ratti, an architect, engineer, and academic who is deeply engaged with the critical questions facing our planet and its urban spaces. He's known for his innovative work at MIT's Senseable City Lab, where he explores how digital technologies are transforming our cities and for his groundbreaking design projectsaround the world. Carlo Ratti's work has been called everything from sensory city philosophy to a driving force behind the world of design. And having recently tackled one of the biggest challenges of our time as a curator of the 19th International Architectural Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, the exhibition Intelligence, Natural, Artificial, Collective seeks to fundamentally rethink architecture's role in an altered world and rapidly changing climate.(0:00) Learning From Nature's Trial and Error(1:20) The Senseable City(6:05) The Future Of Concrete and Circular Building(9:02) Peak Population And The Century Of The City(10:55) Transforming Architecture With Japanese Joinery and AI(14:36) Curating the Venice Biennale As An Open Lab(16:22) Blending The Natural And Artificial Through Data(20:32) Breaking Down Silos and Staying CuriousEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast
