Among the speculative futures explored in this exhibition, the NUS-Tsinghua Design Research Initiative – Sharing Cities envisions a model of sustainable and equitable communal living.
Titled Architecture of the Sharing Culture, this project serves as both a provocation and a declaration. In a sharing culture, individuals actively engage in co-creating, co-managing, co-owning, and co-consuming resources. Central to this vision is the recognition of architectural spaces as shareable assets that facilitate and enhance collaborative interactions.
By integrating augmented reality (AR) technology, visitors can immerse themselves in speculative urban environments that promote and reinforce the concept of shared spaces. Using the provided iPads, they can visualize innovative space-sharing practices in real time. Surrounding the interactive interface, publications present theoretical discussions and debates on the subject.
Ultimately, this project offers a new perspective on togetherness—bridging physical and virtual spaces in both the present and the future.
The NUS-Tsinghua Design Research Initiative – Sharing Cities is a collaborative effort sponsored by the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation (Hong Kong) in partnership with DP Architects. More information can be found at NUS-Tsinghua Design Research Initiative: Sharing Cities.
