Abstract

The workshop on Cyber-physical Spaces at the HIPERORGÂNICO 8: Ancestorfuturism (H8A) Symposium identified linkages between Constant’s vision from the 60-70s and its potential implementation with today’s technology. It engaged in the investigation of utopian/dystopian visions about future habitats by reinterpreting Constant’s New Babylon and introducing dynamic or interactive functional-ities to inhabitable space. Utopian/dystopian aspects were addressed by exploring on the one hand the potential of cyber-physical systems in architecture, on the other hand the challenges of overpop-ulation and urban densification, etc.
