Power of Campuses in a Digital World
Cindy Frewen is board chair of APF, architect, founder of Frewen Architects, and adjunct professor of strategic foresight at University of Houston Futures Studies grad program, Leawood, Kansas, USA
David Broz is education and culture practice leader for Gensler a global architecture and planning firm. He has led the design of 200 education projects and has written and presented extensively on the future of the university campus, Chicago, Illinois, USA
If the 20th century campus was a pastoral college town, the 21st is located in the urban core, a hybrid of real and digital worlds. The vertical campus engages communities, generates economic prosperity, and becomes a central element of thriving cities.
The vertical campus is very different than it's rural counterpart. The urban college's campus is the city street. The urban fabric defines and connects the isolated highrises. 22nd century campuses will become incubators of innovation and learning by doing.
Emerging futures can be found globally in design build, well being, and governance models that integrate education, work, and lifestyles.
Highlights
Participants will leave this session with an understanding of:
- Future higher education environments as energy producers and incubators of ideas and economics.
- How future cities will be shaped by integrated vertical education networks, cutting edge locations that are exploring future models, and visions that vault universities into valued urban places.
