Uploading Cities: Graphic Competition | In today’s rapidly changing world, the imperative to conceive resilient cities that can withstand the challenges posed by climate change and extreme weather conditions has never been more critical. As we face increasing threats from wildfires, sea level rise, storms and other climate-related events, it is essential to reimagine our urban landscapes with a forward-thinking lens.
Incorporating AI image generation in rethinking sustainable cities could ultimately accelerate the development of innovative concepts and solutions, leading to more effective, visually compelling and inclusive urban strategies. Visualising how streets and buildings can seamlessly integrate green spaces or renewable energy systems, and how neighbourhoods can adapt to changing weather patterns becomes a tangible prospect.
“Uploading Cities” aims to foster design experimentation by harnessing the potential of cutting-edge tools such as generative AI. By embracing the power of this innovative and somehow still controversial technology, the goal is to test ingenious ideas and creative proposals capable of envisioning our cities as resilient havens.
