Reconfigurable Streets

Studio Greg Lynn, University of Applied Arts Vienna

The mission of the year-long Reconfigurable Streets studio is to innovate the design of civic streets for a citizenry that has adapted to COVID pandemic policies, transportation electrification, gig working, micro-mobility, and on-demand retail and dining delivery services. respond to contemporary culture, transportation, health policy, and urbanism with new ideas for use of streets. The studio’s vision is to humanize technology and pedestrianize the built environment. The site for this reimagination of the street is the Ringstrasse in Vienna; a 19^th century urban scale experiment in land-ownership, civic institution building, culture, politics, leisure and commerce. Six different teams designed the 4.2‑kilometer-long street as a reconfigurable network of intelligent robotic infrastructure, street furniture, pavilions, equipment and energy infrastructure. Using electric mobility and autonomous navigation technology, the Ringstrasse is pedestrianized for festival, art, retail and gastronomy uses. The simulation of transport, configuration, assembly, and occupation is designed using game engine software. The scope of design encompasses building design, ergonomics, local manufacture, transport and construction logistics including assembly, demounting, transportation, storage, and re-use.
