12 workteams from different countries thinking
simultaneously on common topics, objectives and global proposals.
We have joined ourselves to think for new ideas on a European scale
from all Europe.
12 independent teams meeting in order to work on new urban scales
based on technology.
12 teams throughout all Europe, from different places that can create
different views, define new documents and propose new ideas, indeed
work together thanks to technological advances.
Building the city over the city, by us, means
building Europe over every single European site.
How to think new public spaces rather than traditional streets and
places in suburban cities?
Our global purpose consists in working trough very different views
about how the technological scales appear into urban design and
architecture during these last years. In short, scales which help
by seriously management could have provided the different sites
innovative architectural and urban solutions.
A new social global environment is emerging.
New space based on new technologies that build our everyday life.
We introduce new social dynamics over traditional scales of urban
design and architecture by a seriously techno_social scale management.
Intensifying every single site and working in a common scale: European
scale. This scale is in continuously progressive, and we think that
the people views and proposals should take part in its development
with an active role.
Indeed, a new global-local european space for each site, a plural
space created by people of all condition and origin, that lend social,
cultural and political interconnections. New open spaces, public
and private, are provided with technological support that translates
running information into possible activities.
Our project objective is helping cities and developers, which have
provided sites to find innovative architectural and urban solutions
for the transformation of urban locations, by
Urban management over techno-social scale, planned activities, digital
running contents, infrastructures for spatial information in Europe,
cultural contents, long term sustainability…
Creating a smart community
A new Europe is under construction
Open spaces, new public spaces
– European urbanity, sustainable city and new public spaces

About the interface
Based on the infrastructure for spatial information, established
and operated by the different study sites, we have created a map
over the 3rd environment in order to develop a strategic information
which would allow connecting sites, people, events, running initiatives...
The interface translates the information from different urban layers:
(cultural, political, social ...) from different sites and taking
advantage of running initiatives and intensifies by mean of new
dynamics based on interconnectivity.
The interface is also advocated to make the digital running contents
more accessible, usable and exploitable, in order to reduce barriers.
In this sense, the interface enables multilingual and multicultural
access.
Indeed the interoperative interfaces that allow the different users
taking part in the management of its own public space, with an active
role. It is possible to operate into this system from public, domestic
or common support, breaking the existing wall between public and
private spaces.
The interface is supported by very imperative technological option,
such as open source, semantic web, konnex, net working, clustering
activities, existing metadata...
Developing new spaces on a European scale.
Indeed, the ultimate aim of the European vision of the city is to
make society, in other words to bring together people from all condition
and origin. However, the dominant trend towards individualisation,
the quest for autonomy, cannot be ignored.
This is precisely the spirit of Intensifying for European sites:
on one hand wanting the city – i.e animation, communal life,
people; on the other hand wanting intimacy, privacy, home and the
immediate circle. Undoubtedly our proposal is a local and global,
public and private project.
Building the city over the city, by us, means
building Europe over every single European site.
