'Towards a cloudy future'

A Personal Manifesto

With the Unprecedented Kick-backs our Mother Nature has been experiencing over the last few decades due to exploitation of natural resources, it seems that we have reached the ‘Anthropocene’ stage. Architects, City and Urban Planners, Politicians and the General Public must acknowledge these changes, accept the reality and focus on being able to adapt to those conditions and to ensure sustainable human life on the planet.

We must find a way for our adaptation rate to Adhere to the accelerating curve of growth in technology.

Cloud Computing has started to create a new spatial and transportation patterns. Inter-dependencies and linkages between several activities are now replaced by digital alternatives. In many cases, It had invalidated reasons for certain activities to occur in relative proximity. Unnecessary big box facilities, storage and parking lots can be eliminated. Flexible and Smart approach must be taken towards design,construction and facility management of buildings from an individual to a global scale.

There is an urgent need to restructure spatial and social patterns in today's world considering their:

Digitizability 

Recognising functions that are bound to be digitized in the future and arranging patterns accordingly. Digital methods can be adapted to generate energy efficient, sustainable and smart solutions to design problems.

Adaptability

Technology today, allows us to foresee situations and conditions, analyse and render them in a virtual environment. Buildings must also be designed with enough reserve capacity, easy access to maintenance and as layers to accommodate the necessary changes and adaptations as the technological world grows.

​

Flexibility

Integration of various building elements according to their individual expected lifetimes.
Ensure the designs are flexible enough to be able to adapt well to a 'Black Elephant' scenario.
