CITY 2020 Imagining Human Experience in the Future of Cities September 2015

City 2020 is an Innovation By Design (IXD) project that provides a future vision of city life and defines what it will mean to be a “smart city” in the year 2020 and beyond. The project’s main challenge was to create a future vision considering a variety of perspectives and to define the future human experience in cities across multiple touch points on both macro and micro levels. By grasping a solid understanding of on-going trends, emerging technologies and changing human behaviors, we were able to imagine a city tailored for humans and envision how big cities can be designed to support meaningful experiences. Through a rigorous research innovation process, the IXD team conducted highly immersive studies across 10 vertical categories in order to draw insights and identify business opportunities in each area, using an in-depth extrapolation process to gather key findings and project these into narrative-based futurist scenarios. This process allowed the team to forecast where the future of technology is heading towards, and to identify emerging cutting edge technologies to design a city rich in social experiences and cultural values.

Contributions: Led expert interviews and user research, lead strategist, graphics and visualizations, design mapping, interview preparation and production, script writing, video editing, report documentation and production, creating personas, identifying relevant leading technologies, concept development, wireframing, and assisting with designing graphics, maps, and illustrating scenarios.

*IXD, Innovation by Design, is a transdisciplinary think-tank, a design research and innovation startup composed of designers and MIT faculty and researchers.

IXD partners with the world’s most innovative companies to provide unique perspectives and implementable visions to imagine, design, and prototype a better future. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the office is just steps away from MIT and heavily embedded into the high-tech startup landscape. With additional offices located in Sao Paolo, Seoul, and Milan, the IXD team is able to offer a range of multicultural perspectives and diverse expertise to help big businesses discover new ideas and untapped creative opportunities.

In City 2020, a posse of personal technologies surrounds each individual “supporting” and “guiding” in times of stress. Always present, this support system intimately cares and looks out for the individual. Support in mobility, language, communication and local knowledge are especially important.

A posse of personal devices, just-in-time services and easy access to information motivates a strong desire to be self reliant and always in control. This expectation is largely unmet in health and travel. As retail-esque notions of on-demand convenience permeate other industries, individuals are increasingly seeking active guidance,

Cities today are changing at an astounding pace. By 2020, close to 60% of the world’s population will live in urban settings. Cities not only need to prepare for expanding population but also for a number of diverse impact factors that will continue to dramatically change how we experience cities. How might we make sense of these divergent factors and predict their true impact on cities of the future? The City 2020 project focuses on the challenge of making meaning of a number of trends - social, political, technological and economic and projecting a vision of the city in the year 2020. Our approach was to paint a picture of the city of 2020, of which technology is only one part. The scope of the research covered statistical data, social, political, and economic trends, products and service examples, influential technologies and inspirations drawn from science fiction and pop-culture. Combining research with direct input from Millennials and Active Seniors from three different Megacities - New York, Paris and Singapore - and experts across 12 different industries we were able to form a unique glimpse into the future of cities. These parallel modes of inquiry offer a map of intersecting innovations and opportunities, driven by agents of change encompassing technological innovation, market innovation, economic growth and policies,human needs, desires and vision for the future - an exhaustive playground for envisioning City 2020.

The vision for City 2020 was developed through three distinct phases - the research phase, the analysis phase and finally the hypothesis phase.

The research phase was informed by meta questions like “What is the smart city in 2020 and who is it for?” “What are the values in this city and how can we build towards them?” Research was conducted to map trends and projections for ten verticals including smart home, automotive, manufacturing, education, work, money, healthcare, personal media & entertainment, retail and hospitality. Supported by ethnographic interviews in NYC, Paris and Singapore - the three projected megacities of the future, and expert interviews with thirteen subject experts across the ten verticals, the research phase laid the foundation for the project.

In the analysis phase, over a thousand research cards were synthesized from the research. Vertical specific research was further modeled vis a vis core frameworks of the vertical. Several strong experiential themes emerged from this exercise. Data from the ethnographic interviews was used to model city-specific personas.

Finally, the efforts of the first two phases were combined in the hypothesis phase where five high level opportunity areas were developed for city 2020. Several concepts and frameworks emerged within these opportunity areas that cover multiple verticals, themes and experiences.

Mobilizing design tools such as user scenarios, concept maps and ecosystem maps, these opportunity areas were further developed.

The hypotheses for City 2020 is contained in these five opportunity areas. Scenarios are used to illustrate this vision through user stories told from the perspective of city-specific personas. Strategic recommendations provide directional insight for Samsung. Key experiential values for City 2020 are discussed in experience maps.

10K ARCHITECTS A program for universal online education in architectural studies Client: United Nations Education Board April 2013

The 10,000 Architects International Workshop centers around developing a program to help educate young children around the world that may not have access to higher education, especially in architectural design. Through developing a series of assignments and tutorials, each taught through the Internet and mentored by graduate students and architects, we hope to bring the basic ideas of design to a new generation of designers and architects who will apply the knowledge within their own cultural context, both to help the villages they live in and beyond.

The project consisted of designing a curriculum for ten assignments, formulating tutorials that would help explain how to build models and make drawings, as well as grading and critiquing several assignments completed by students participating in the beginning stages of the program. The completed assignments were graded and assessed with comments and feedback collected from the students who participated. The pilot program was invited to present at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, where education experts from various departments within the UN were able to see the results from the pilot launch.

Contributions: User research, wireframing, market and design research, book design and printing, presentation to UN education board, curriculum design, grading and program assessment, student mentorship.

Example of a sample assignment listed for student participants in the program, breaking down the design process and helping students understand the basic elements of architectural design.

The 10K Architects workshop produced a booklet that can be distributed as a guideline for learning, and also used as a template for the 10K Architects website.

TFNOLA TRANSIT STUDY An analysis of funding distribution for public transit in New Orleans Client: Transit for New Orleans (TFNOLA) April 2012

New Orleans public transit heavily relies on local sales tax and a hotel occupancy tax to maintain its transit system operating. However, there have been agreements formulated that prevent New Orleans public transit from reaping the benefits of these revenues. In order to keep the New Orleans public transit system operating, the city must review current agreements and look towards other innovative financing mechanisms.

Through interviews conducted with various organizations in New Orleans, we were able to break down the funding sources and agencies involved and locate a discrepancy in funding. The transit funding study provided a way to address funding policies, investigate legislature and agreements tied to transit funding, analyze potential funding sources through a cross-comparison matrix of transit systems in fifteen cities across the United States, as well as provide recommendations for TFNOLA in pursuing new sources of funding for transit.

Contributions: User research, ethnographic studies, market and design research, visualization and graphic design, design strategy, pinpointing relevant key players, meeting with various organizations in New Orleans, presentation to TFNOLA.

*Transport for New Orleans (TFNOLA) is an alternative transportation education and advocacy non-profit group that is dedicated to increasing accessibility to multiple modes of transit that provide frequent and reliable service to residents of the Greater New Orleans area. Tools and ferries, streetcars, buses, and land issues are just a few of the areas that TFNOLA is focusing on. But funding is always a central issue. Funding is filtered through the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) and expected to go to specific transit-oriented projects thereafter. On a local level, money is collected through a sales and use tax.

Currently, portions of this sales and use tax have been re-distributed by an agreement between the RTA and other parties.

HATLAS GPS-Enabled Hands-Free Smart Helmet for Urban Navigation Published with Mobile Experiences Lab November 2013

Smartphone navigation apps and paper maps are designed for pedestrians and motor vehicles, where you can easily view and interact with the screen while being in motion. Cyclists however, do not have this luxury. Hatlas is a device that combines exteroceptive sensory interaction with GPS navigation in order to rethink traditional urban cycling. It helps cyclists navigate the city safely and without the distraction of accessing directions while riding. The device connects GPS signals through a smartphone using existing map applications, and transmits the data to the helmet in real-time via small vibrating sensors that alert users of upcoming turns, allowing cyclists to access directions handsfree while safely cycling. There are eight output devices built into the interior of the helmet that subtly vibrate when a turn is approaching, giving the cyclist enough time to signal and follow the route. The motors inside the helmet directionally correspond to the GPS directions, and create a transition of vibration sensors that allow cyclists to easily navigate their itinerary while riding, without having to stop and check their phone or try to ride and look at the directions with one hand. Each route can also be logged into the helmet and transferred back to the cyclistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smartphone, and saved as a regular destination. These destinations can also be shared with other cyclists to clarify navigation and directions, build a database of safe cycling routes, and create a community and social platform between cyclists to enhance safety and communication.

Contributions: Led product design and ideation, branding, market research, user research, sole graphic and visual designer on the team, storyteller, narrative and script writer, video production and editing, interface design and assisted with fabrication and breadboard design.

Images showing the design of the user interface of the GPS navigation, along with the corresponding sensors that are activated when approaching a nearby turn for the cyclist

HATLAS is not just a GPS unit. It is a technology and platform made for cyclists by cyclists. It creates a community for cyclists to connect with each other and share, from sharing your location and cycling routes with friends to finding the most cycle-friendly routes nearby. May any route and store locations in the app so you can send them to friends. Whether cyclists are going for a 40 minutes ride or just need to find directions to a Friday night concert - HATLAS is here to help, hands-free and allowing you to safely navigate for any urban condition.

This demo video compilation explains the way Hatlas works, and serves as a way to see the prototype in action as well as the incorporation of the smartphone app and social media aspects of the product.

This video shows the Hatlas prototype demonstration in action. As the user moves the dot on the smartphone screen, the app sends a signal to the helmet, actuating the motors sending small vibration pulses which informs the user which direction to navigate.

COMPOSE-IT HOUSE Mapping the Lifecycle of Chile’s Mining Camps: A Comparison Study for Robotic Manufacturing of Mining Camps Client: La Corporacion Nacional del Cobre de Chile (CODELCO) November 2014 Working with the support of MIT’s MISTI Chile Program and CODELCO under Alexandros Tsamis (Director MD, UAI), I led the systems mapping and design for the Life Cycle analysis of Chile’s mining camp industry. The initial research and mapping served as the inspiration for a one week workshop in June 2015 on the sustainable future of the Chilean mining camp. The workshop - Entitled Matter Logi(sti)cs - defined effective overall strategies in order for the industry to cope with the increasing demand for housing in the next decades. How can the ecological footprint of such massive production of housing be minimized; and how can the whole process of design, fabrication, transportation, assembly and dis-assembly become more adaptable to the current, pressing demand for higher quality mining camps? As part of a complete life-cycle analysis, the workshop took into account three major factors: The efficiency of the mining camp installation, the flexibility of the mining camp design and the legacy that leaves behind the mining camp to the local communities.

Compose_it House put to the test the total production: transportation, assembly and disassembly phase of a mining camp in terms of its cost, its energy efficiency and its quantitative and qualitative performance characteristics. The process included designing and testing working prototypes of a construction system using CNC technologies in order to suggest a radical alternative to current design/built methods. The project aims to prove that robotic manufacturing of prefabricated, hi-performance, lightweight thermoplastic panels can: - Increase the production rate of housing units, thus responding to the increasing demand for housing of mining companies in Chile.

- Decrease the total cost of installing a new camp.

- Decrease the total environmental footprint of fabrication, assembly and disassembly relative to existing construction methods and materials.

- Allow lightweight panel housing units to be assembled manually by un-skilled labor on site.

Contributions: Led market and environmental research, sole designer for all 2D mapping graphics and visualizations, data compiler, led design mapping and research phase for existing mining camp data.

The Compose_it House project analyzed current building construction methods of prefabricated houses for the mining industry, as well as mapped the entire lifecycle of standard mining camp housing - from manufacturing to end-of-life. With robotic technologies of fabrication, improved, energy efficient methods of construction and the use of advanced plastic materials, Compose_it House aims to significantly increase the production rate of prefabricated building units, reduce the total amount of embodied energy in construction and at the same time provide better living conditions in the mining camps.

ECONOMY OF ECOLOGY Seasonal Economic and Migration Patterns of Birding: A Visual Impact of the Salton Sea, California Client: Center for Advanced Urbanism March 2013

Information analysis map about the seasonal and economical migration patterns of birding and wildlife watching in the Salton Sea, California.

This map was completed for a workshop in the MIT Center for Advanced Urbanism, advocating for the preservation of the shrinking Salton Sea due to its necessity as an important ecological habitat for hundreds of different bird species. The research and mapping targets not only the importance of the habitat ecologically, but the evidence suggests economic benefits by tracking many birding festivals and their economic impact on regions throughout the year. The research also provided information that links wildlife watching to a demographic, which would aid in the marketing process for gathering support for the preservation of the important wildlife habitat and setting the foundation for future development and reconstruction in the Salton Sea region.

DIRT URBANISM Soil Sterilization and Geothermal Recreation in the Ecologically Unstable Salton Sea Client: Developer Black Emerald LLC, Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians April 2013

The southern periphery is the most contaminated area surrounding the Salton Sea. The inflow from Alamo River alone contains half of the harmful pollutants that research studies have found to have direct detrimental effects on the healthiness of the avian and fish populations in the Imperial Valley.

With the production of agriculture increasing in the region, Salton Sea will become increasingly susceptible to higher levels of contaminants that make the locations near the sea not currently suitable for development. The introduction of a soil sterilization system at the estuary of the Alamo River, as well as the additional two inflows from the New and Whitewater rivers, controls the contamination levels to produce an environment that is ecologically healthy and economically stable. Sprawled along the San Andreas Fault line, the southeast region of the sea is particularly vibrant with prospective tourist attractions as a result of its close proximity to five geothermal power plants and active landforms as a result of naturally occurring geothermal activity. The process of filtering contaminates from the Salton Sea is achieved through sterilization of the silt and sediment that inflows to the sea from three main rivers: the Alamo River, the New River and the Whitewater River. The main site for the soil sterilization plant is the Alamo River due to its close proximity to five local geothermal power plants and the fact that the Alamo River comprises the most pollutants that drains into the Salton Sea. Sampling of the river inflows has shown that the Alamo River accounts for 50% of the contamination from the harmful pesticides, the majority of which derives as a result of runoff from the vast agricultural industry on the southern and northern edges of the sea.

Sterilization of the soil will ensure elimination of pollutants and pathogens, increasing the potential for high-yielding crops and healthy soil. Steaming is an organic and environmentally friendly way of sterilizing soil. Methods range from sheet steaming, vacuum steaming, hood steaming and is a sterilization technique that rids contaminates, bacteria, fungi, and viruses with an extremely hot steam. Not only does this method help in getting rid of pests and diseases, but also unleashes nutritional substances in the soil that were previously trapped. Steaming sterilization is the most effective alternative to the chemical methyl bromide which is very harmful to the environment. Sterilizing the soil not only filters contaminates during the peak inflow from agricultural runoff, but it results in a fertile product desirable in the construction of new development around the sea. Once processed the soil can be a profitable venture for sustaining the sterilization. The sterilized soil then endures a composting process and is directly distributed to various sites around the sea, providing hygienic bird habitats and a natural fertilizer for date farming. Once a foundation for filtered inflow and decontaminated soil is established, health concerns are eliminated allowing future development to occur.

PLAY PANDORA Redefining the Future of the Nomadic Workplace Client: Venice Gateway for Science and Technology (VEGA) December 2011

Pre-industrial cities consisted essentially of skeleton and skin. They provided shelter and protection, and through stacking floors vertically they enabled intensification of land use. Cities of the industrial era acquired extensive and sophisticated artificial physiologies: water supply and drainage systems, energy supply systems, and mechanized transportation. Cities of the digital information era are developing integrated electronic nervous systems. Cities start to operate as intelligent organisms that make coordinated responses to changing conditions and needs. In partnership with the Venice Gateway for Science and Technology (VEGA), the MIT Mobile Experience Lab created an educational workshop on the design and ideation of a New Media Building.

During the workshop, visions of the future of media buildings, including defining what a media building is what it means to workers who are constantly in flux, and address how buildings and the built environment, new media and technologies, and workers of the future will evolve.

The multidisciplinary workshop provided opportunities to pursue real-world design projects that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries, apply advanced technologies, and address significant social issues. The projects explored the design of a smart, connected, new media building, as well as a dynamic building reconfiguration and sentimental analysis for those who use the building, and how to support better communication for high-tech knowledge workers who require access to the global research community. The workshop considered how buildings of the future will support the creation and evolution of innovative ideas through the new smart media building dubbed Pandora. Pandora is a newly commissioned “factory of ideas” which furthers the gap between traditional industry and the future of modern social working relations. Pandora is a “living building”, which through a dialogue between people, objects (Internet of Things), and the surrounding environment, can generate innovation and interconnectivity and reshape the way people work, communicate and interact. The workshop creatively explored how the smart building interacts with its environment and the smart city at large, how new technologies support dynamic building reconfiguration and how to support better communication for high-tech nomadic workers who need to interact with the global research community.

Contributions: User and market research, prototyping, rendering, wireframing, mobile app design, user interface design, user experience design.

More frequently than ever workers will operate from a variety of locations and the requirement of a dedicated workspace is changing. Some key observations about the nomadic worker are that they maintain flexible hours and are more dispersed between the office and the city. Working from multiple spaces they are tech-savvy and use a lot of technologies already. They need to be connected with others and their collaborative work groups remotely. This user group ties into the second trend surrounding the transient and global environment in which they work, showing that we are moving away from a dedicated workspace.

Play Pandora is not designing a building - it is designing connectivity. Unlike an ordinary office, the Pandora community and building is designed for the evolution of work and the future of the flexible workplace. Since we are gravitating away from the notion of a dedicated workspace, what is the future of openplan, multi-functional collaborative space? Play Pandora creatively explores how the smart media building interacts with its environment and the Smart City at large, how new technologies support dynamic building reconfiguration, and how to support better communication for high-tech knowledge workers who need to interact with the global research community.

An optimistic work environment is formed by incorporating fun elements that disrupt normative behaviors, actions, and thinking in the Pandora community.

Nomadic workers physically interact with their environment, increasing their interest and their overall happiness in the workplace. Through a series of interactive installations, fun and creativity produces a productive yet playful Pandora community. Play Pandora enhances connectivity between physical place and people with a series of installations and smart phone case that act as a way for the building to communicate with the people and vice versa. The smartphone smart-case is a protective sleeve and Pandora application that integrates with existing apps for data mining and utilizes built in NFC as well as RFID sensors in the smart-case to help workers communicate withe media building and other workers within the Pandora community. The installations create an interaction with the building itself, allowing the building and the workers to communicate using synced data from their Pandora smart-case and app. The building and app gather mood, physical activity and other health signals to project reflections of the workers onto the smart media facades and stairs, send out reminder or updates for workers as they pass by a smart media wall that talks to their app, and keeps track of workers health or activity level by creating an incentive program for being healthy. The series of interactive installations help increase interest and happiness within the Pandora community and prevent a lack of connection within a nomadic work environment, creating a place where a building is designed to understand and adapt to the needs of its inhabitants.

PAVE THE WAY Enhancing Accessibility with Sustainable Technology in Miami Beach Client: The Miami Foundation April 2016

The beach is the largest public space in Miami, although it is not accessible to everyone. Pave the Way helps provide beach access to the mobilityimpaired, by constructing passageways at main entry points from the boardwalk directly to the waterfront. The continuation of the boardwalk would be built of a hard surface, potentially using solar-cell panel technology that would make the surfaces both functional in terms of ADA compatibility and selfpowering by storing energy from the sun during the day to â&#x20AC;&#x153;light up Miami Beachâ&#x20AC;? at night.

Pave the Way allows the largest public space in Miami to be accessible and enjoyed by everyone. During the day, anyone could walk or wheel down the pathway directly to the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge. Not only would this allow people mobility impairments (on crutches, in wheelchairs, or just have trouble walking), but also families with strollers and small children. During the night, the lighted pathways would also provide safety light and emergency call button kiosks to anyone walking along the beach, and creating linear lighted path designs visible from adjacent boardwalk.

Contributions: Visual design, grant proposal writing, precedent studies, led user and market research and user experience design.

MARCO POLO Innovative Trends Research Database and Exhibition Prototype Client: Intercorp Peru, Oeschle, Real Plaza, Plaza Vea March 2015

Marco Polo is pinterest-style exploratory website, hosting a collection of over 300 trends and inspirations from over 30 countries around the world.

I managed the Marco Polo team which included leading the research and design to create a searchable database of retail innovation design and trends, a system for organizing the trends, as well as a presentation deck with the finalization of the website. With a team of 6 La Victoria Lab members and interns, the research, design, and management of the web development team was completed in a 12-week period, and served as the inspiration and precedent for future La Victoria projects and Intercorp research and development. The culmination of research also contributed to a business deck of retail innovation design and trends which later led to the development and design of two full scale prototypes, Real Plaza’s Nomade and Oeschle’s Daniela’s Closet, as well as a “Future Of...” trends exhibition presented to the CEOs of three Intercorp companies: Real Plaza, Plaza Vea, and Oeschle.

The database evolved into an item repository where each “trend” can be categorized and tagged in order to make easier for users to apply different search criteria. The users can find items by applying a search criteria based on categories and tags, and select items from the wall to access more detailed information, including location, URL, item category and tags, along with additional photos loaded for it. The application was developed using HTML, CSS3 and Javascript for frontend aspects of application, and Ruby on Rails for backend functionality development.
