It’s Alive explores the future look and functionality of buildings in 2050. With structures that are fully integrated into the fabric of the city, responsive to changes in the external environment, and designed for continuous adaptability, according to real-time needs and demands of its users.

In the ecological age, buildings do not simply create spaces, they craft environments. They function as part of an urban ecosystem, promote more environmentally conscious and efficient resource management, and actively contribute to the unique needs of the individual user, as well as the wider requirements of the city. By producing food and energy, and providing clean air and water, buildings evolve from being passive shells, into adaptive and responsive organisms – living and breathing structures supporting the cities of tomorrow.
