Innovation and transferability: Mindful city

Author’s concept is the transformation of a “smart” city into a “mindful” city. Mindfulness of a city is combined from two main parts: automation and interconnection of its infrastructural systems and socio-emotional intelligence of its citizens. New digital logic results in new spatial organization models, where the urban context is reimagined, by transforming it into condensed, clever, but flexible space. Typological matrix of city structural elements (point, line, surface, volume) introduces time notion into the rich functional programming, so that hybrid landscape is made. Absolute communication and coordination of infrastructural systems turns a city to a super-organism.

Resource and environmental performance: Healthy city

Healthy environment provides citizens with the best food, water, air, lifestyle and mental comfort. Alive city introduces new creatures – digital citizens, who maintain the whole urbo-ecosystem. Thanks to programmed biotic materials and elements, energy for the lightning and heating is no longer delivered, but rather executed inside buildings. In the same manner, goods and food are not collected from external global world but instead crafted locally. Moreover, a city has its own calendar, which allows using advantages of each year, season, month, week, and even day in a maximally efficient way. Cities would not only provide themselves with clean and free energy, but also apply biological methods of preserving it. A city realizes which fabrics does it require at the moment, and rams them up.

Ethical standards and social inclusion: Creative city

Production is spread and ubiquitous, yet at the same time localized and personalized. Labor equals education, equals artistic activity and equals entertainment. Value of exchange, trust and cooperation are emphasized by the network infrastructure. Space in a city acts a creative thought catalyst. With the augmented reality technologies a digital modeling of real physical laws, glowing, refraction, tactile feelings, smells reach the highest excellence level. On the other side, virtual objects may contradict to perspective laws or gravitation. Moreover, it is possible to work and interact with that wonderspace. The city becomes an interface for self-expression.
