"IBA Summer School 2018 – Stuttgart 2050, fue una iniciativa que tenía como objetivo el desarrollar visiones prospectivas de desarrollo urbano para esta ciudad. El workshop contó con la participación de universidades de Alemania, Austria, Malawi y Argentina, cuyos estudiantes trabajaron conjuntamente los alumnos de la UTFSM. La gira contempló además las ciudades de Múnich, Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, Tubingen y Wiesbaden, en las cuales se desarrollaron visitas guiadas tanto a universidades como a proyectos arquitectónicos y urbanos de relevancia."
Plot: It is written the year 2100. Climate change had a huge impact on the living conditions all over the world. The big metropolitan cities are more like cities as Buenos Aires or Valparaíso in 2018. Living space is rare and people more often live in big communities to split tasks and support one another. Technological progress changed the transportation situation of goods and inhabitants.
The Vision: Cities like Stuttgart will grow and todays suburban cities will become part of the metropolises. In this case Fellbach will become a part of Stuttgart just as Waiblingen will later on. Not to produce borderless connections, there have to be so called Infills. Those Infills function as living, working and vacation space as well and represent a possibility of future living habits. Private transportation does not longer exist as we know it today. Cars - however the look like –drive on a grid and work as a public transport infrastructure for private and commercial use.
To realize that vision we started to focus on how todays metropolises work. After extracting the main threads we worked on ideas to combine sustainable living with technological progress. Because of the big scale and the many layers inside such a system we developed a toolkit to handle different situations of living. The toolkit includes four typologies: Productivity, Public, Housing, Transport
