AERIAL FUTURES: Urban Constellations explores airport-city
interfaces as infrastructure, operating at a metropolitan scale. This
think tank uses New York City as a case study to trigger responses
across disciplines. Selected participants will reimagine airport
constellations as a choreographed urban ecosystem that relies as much
on architecture as it does on technology and data-driven design.
Form follows information. New technologies – such as virtual reality
and artificial intelligence, real-time digital experiences, robotics, and
autonomous vehicles – will transform the way aerial infrastructures look
and feel in the future. This AERIAL FUTURES think tank will challenge
our expectations about time in transit, wayfinding, security, and
commerce; and exploring how technology will redefine disconnected
landscapes into continuous, integrated urban airport systems.
We are pleased to share that several funders who are interested in NYU's urban research will be in attendance. In addition, Stephanie Miner, former mayor of Syracuse, and Polly Trottenberg, Commissioner of the NYC DOT, will be participating as keynote speaker and panelist, respectively.
