In this issue we look at the University of Westminster’s International Design Challenge that aims to transform neglected and disused public spaces in South Asia into recreational, informative and easy-to-maintain spaces that benefit the community.
Looking to future projects, we profile some of the best entries to eVolo’s annual design competition that imagines tomorrow’s cityscapes, and we investigate how, for better or worse, the lines between architecture and game design are becoming increasingly blurred. Is the world of gaming influencing the design of building and landscapes in the real world?
Plus we look at how Germany’s industrial past is been regenerated to suit its creative and vibrant present, and find out how an EU-funded research project is tackling the problem of renovating existing building stock.
