CKIR Research Interest for Living+Open Society and Smart Services

✓ CKIR has approached societal and industrial innovation on system level from service and information systems science viewpoints (tecno-economic)

✓ Past projects focus on development of user driven, open standard based smart services in Smart City context, often tested in Living Labs

✓ Focus is on actors, processes, relationships and orchestration models in multi-stakeholder networks and platforms

✓ Research questions for Living+ would include: ✓ How to support the industry in transformation toward the vision of open access, demand driven service ecosystems? ✓ What are the means to trigger sustainable innovation and drive renewal on established business networks and public

sector? ✓ How to accelerate adaptation of new innovations by public institutions and citizens? ✓ How to optimize user experience and offer opportunities for value driven consumption?

✓ CKIR could foresee participation in a WP focusing on Macro level: Ecosystem analysis, Policy landscape, or micro level: service design, user engagement, platform business models for IoT,…

WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Researching and rethinking concepts, practices and environments for new kinds of experiental and narrative uses of urban space and its novel media environments

KEY THEMES: lived & shared urban space / openness of public space / theatricality of urban (media) environment / re-writing urban space through sensability / activating common spaces & places through artivism and temporal narratives / exposing the ‘intimate’ & ‘personal’ within the city scale AIMS: Developing, exploring, creating & contextualizing aesthetically and socially responsive performative practices, implemented within lived urban space and public scenery by means of artistic research and performative ‘artivistic’ practices

Wood Material Technology group

• Wood is a renewable resource, is CO2 neutral, has excellent structural properties and is perceived to be “natural”

• Wood also has many under-exploited physical properties (e.g. hydrothermal) that can help to passively mediate a living environment and lead to both direct and indirect energy savings

• It also has interesting visual and tactile properties and as a “natural” material can help enhance human wellbeing

• It has huge potential in the built environment to create sustainable housing and workspaces

• The group is currently researching this potential in collaboration with colleagues from different disciplines through several ongoing projects

Living+Systemic change: Bottom-up transition to sustainability

• An emerging movement, many actors • Grassroots pioneers’ initiatives • Local action – but happening worldwide • Growing connectivity – social media

Seeking for:

• New sustainable lifestyles

• Active production of local culture

• From consumers to producers • Challenges the unsustainable status quo

What is the role of professions in the battle for urban expertise? What is the role of stakeholders and NGOs in framing planning epistemologies? How is knowledge used in the arguments and rhetoric for planning solutions?

Research interests related to Living+ Arki focuses on the digitalization of everyday life, so we work with many themes related to life in the future. We have also started a collaborative transdisciplinary research and study initiative “Redesign of Society”, which covers many themes that are relevant also in the Living+ context. We are developing a vision of society in 2040 and of the design evolution that we would like to see in the next 25 years.Ongoing research projects/questions related to Living+ Digitalization of everyday life - design of everyday life; evolution of digital ecosystems and mediaRedesign of Society - what are societal designs, where do they come from, how can they be designed; transition design- finding ways to design and explore new societal designs (e.g. “new rules for the game”) for addressing societal challenges, e.g. livelihood in areas and fields of life that are now threatened; sustainable, ethical and ubiquitous food production; new price and market systems;…- design fiction: serious future scenarios that make the exploration of future designs possible today

Buildings directly affects more than 40% of all energy consumed in developed countries. In order to make the built environment more sustainable two strategies of equal importance are currently pursued in the context of various disciplines and multi-disciplinary research fields: the development of more clean energy and the improvement of energy efficiency as well as the activation of other opportunities for energy saving. In buildings, the amount of energy needed for the operation is largely dependent on the morphology, the organization of spaces and the materialization of the building. Because of this, architectural decisions during the design process play a key role in making buildings more sustainable. Thesis 1: A sustainable built environment is not so much a technical but primarily a design problem!

Polyvalent Building Structures

In the built environment, structures is ubiquitous. Often, however, only as neutral background. In architecture, historically only the aspect of construction and the inherent tectonic potential has been considered. But the architectural impact of building structures is not limited to the detail. Rather it affects directly the larger scale of defining space and the spatial organization and articulation of architecture. But this requires a change in attitude towards structural design: away from the concentration of forces upon a small number of building elements and towards the spatial distribution of forces within space. This spreading of forces allows for greater variation of formal articulation and as such opens up the field of structures to a multitude of phenemenological expressions. Furthermore, does the flexibilization of structural typologies and the resulting distribution of matter help to take over or at least support other performative functions like for example sun shading, heat transfer or heat storage or ventilation. Thesis 2: The polyvalence of structural systems is an underused performative and architectural potential!

Experiential Structuralism

series of exploration of the polyvalent potetial of building structures on various scales

Over the years, several methods and techniques have been developed to explore the polyvalent potential of building structures on various scales from the level of material systems, over building scales, up to urban applications. This new design approach balances the necessity of physics with the freedom of design and results in the development of new kinds of architectural expressions that are not determined by technical solutions but foster architectural experience and new social spaces. Thesis 3: Structural design can foster a holistic perspective that lead to sustainable and liveable urban environments!
