Manage episode 271160262 series 2288326
nnovation; everyone wants it but how can we help create it through urban and building design?
Katie Kasabilis is an urbanist, architect and educator whose career has straddled the worlds of practice and academia. She is currently an assistant professor in architecture at the University of Virginia, a Visiting Senior Fellow at LSE Cities and the Design Director of Kasawoo.
Her work is at the forefront of a new direction for urban research – one that investigates the role of technological innovation in guiding models of future development. Her current research investigates the evolution of the workplace under the pressures of today’s knowledge economy.
In this podcast:
- Innovation as a primary factor in building design for leading occupiers
- The best examples of buildings and districts that foster innovation
- Is design alone enough for innovation to flourish?
- Are tech campuses the blueprint for large scale urban planning and design?
- Has Covid-19 changed the direction of travel or just accelerated pre-existing trends?
- Is this the end of boom of urbanisation as we’ve known it?
- Will transport still be key to defining places?
Katie’s favourite building is the Kolumba art museum in Cologne, a building which left an indelible memory.
Her recommended book is The Life & Death of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs; a book as relevant now as it was when first published in 1961.
Her technology to watch out for in machine learning with its range of possibilities; from intuitive design though to asset valuations.
