Winka will be speaking at TEDGlobal 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland Today- Monday, June 10th.
The talk will focus on new ways to design the city of the future. Bottom-up urbanism, crowd-funding and crowd-sourcing are all becoming viable ways to develop cities. A recent initiative by Rodrigo Nino of Prodigy Network, “My Ideal City ”, proposes to rebuild Downtown Bogota from the Bottom up. Rodrigo Nino and BD Promotores invited us at Archi-Tectonics as the lead architect to help create a team of experts. Together with important innovators such as Gary hack, an Urban Planner responsible for Manhattan’s WTC area and West Side development, and PSFK an English trend research group and crowd sourcing expert, we worked to develop a platform where the people in Bogota are enabled to help create their city by interacting in proposals made for their Downtown in crowd sourcing [web and radio] thus impacting design through real time interaction and direct feedback, and ultimately crowdfunding.
