In response, the Urban Planning team at NEOM has pioneered Zero Gravity Urbanism - a three-dimensional urban idea underpinning THE LINE - which provides a robust alternative to our currently failing urban models. 


Zero Gravity Urbanism, developed around the work of globally recognized architects and urban thinkers, demonstrates its capacity for a radically smaller footprint, a substantially stronger social fabric and robust model for human exchange, establishing the foundation of a new livability. Some of the ideas, innovations and technologies behind Zero Gravity Urbanism are a point of departure for rethinking our prevailing ideas of a city or human habitat. THE LINE in NEOM is an example that begins to put in motion these ideas in an environment powered 100% by renewable energy, with zero cars, zero roads and zero carbon emissions.

Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization and an accelerating environmental emergency, we need solutions for city building that are more socially and economically sustainable, as well as multi-family housing that is more equitable and livable.

Provoked by discussions that took place at a symposium they organized while teaching at the IIT in Chicago 2019, this four-volume publication [MIDDLE, MACRO, MICRO, MODELLING] expands on this hands-on research working with challenging economic and environmental circumstances, using the firm’s built works, concept masterplans and community projects as the foundations to present a ‘toolkit’ of strategies for high- quality attainable, accessible and affordable housing. It will be released with Arquine in October 2023.

A selection of projects by Mario Cucinella Architects that contribute to exploring these themes from a contemporary viewpoint and with an eye towards our future challenges will be presented. These include recent works in major cities like Milan but also in much smaller communities in Italian towns and villages demonstrating the positive impact and potential for regeneration and renewal that a single building can have in these settings.

With the COVID 19 pandemic raging around the world, health design is at the forefront of many people's minds, whether or not they are in the health field.

Laurie Chetwood will be looking at how the current challenges facing the High Street are an opportunity for designers to participate in repurposing redundant town and city centres. He will discuss how not only high street buildings, but also urban infrastructure systems are being repurposed. Logistics is no longer just a big box on the side of the motorway keeping the rain off stored goods but is evolving into urban logistics: an integral part of a repurposed urban supply chain, and the driving force behind the new social and community-focused experiential retail.

WAF Keynote: Prototypes for the Future


We live in extraordinary times and, in many ways, the challenges facing cities, cultures and the planet have never been greater. Some have speculated that the global COVID pandemic is merely first tremors of a vast shockwave brought on by environmental decline, failed socio-economic policy and cynical political manipulation. Perhaps more than ever before, the need for reconsidering the fundamental values, agendas and possibilities of architecture and urbanism is clear. We must begin to imagine fundamentally new questions and trajectories that go beyond the lifeless, recycled formalisms, neoDarwinian ethics and vacant marketing-speech—we must begin to answer the question of how can we, as architects, work towards a living future for our spaces, societies and species? In this talk, Ole Scheeren, Principal of international architectural practice Buro Ole Scheeren, will explore the role of this question in the work of the office and how the search for an answer has informed the development of several of the office's unprecedented and city-defining structures.

The Business of Architecture: Project Managing Art


The business of architecture is often a struggle between the designers who want to design and the managers who want to manage. Astute project delivery planning can turn this clash into a workable dynamic, centered on common goals of quality, responsibility, and service to the client—a way to manage expectations but produce something meaningful. Honing project management to find a balance between artistic achievement and prudent oversight will help businesses make money and strive for excellence.

Marc Koehler’s term as the Architect in Residence at the Architectuur Centrum Amsterdam is drawing to a close in December, concluding a period of three months of studying new initiatives according to the principles of John Habraken’s Open Building.

Architect and academic Habraken composed the first guidelines of Open Building in the sixties: he described ways to compose buildings with a multipurpose structure and flexible infill, to address the different wishes and needs of inhabitants.

As co-initiator of a new online platform featuring current developments in Open Building - developers, architects, and inhabitants - Marc will present an overview of new initiatives and projects. He will elaborate on three themes: Open Architecture, Open Development, and Open Systems, and connect the principles of Open Building to new ways to incorporate circularity, sustainability and the influence of individuals and communities into residential projects.

Li Xiaodong, Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University.

Chair: Jeremy Melvin, Curator, World Architecture Festival


I have no intention here to promote the ‘form’ as a blueprint. It, at most, opens up possibilities. This is why that I dare not to use the word “contemporary Chinese architecture” to describe my practice, but “reflexive regionalist architecture”. Here, to be “reflexive” as in ‘dialogue with’ a situation, through which, an objective understanding of the situation could be established; to be “regional” is here different from the ‘picturesque’ or, ‘iconic’ regionalist architecture (by which, architecture was understood as a tool to demonstrate a cultural presence as a fixed entity), what I have been proposing is to understand the “regional” as comprehensive, dynamic and sustainable ‘condition’ of place – a tabula rasa, that solutions could be based on and emerged from.

Jeanne Gang, Founding Principal, Studio Gang

Chair: Paul Finch, Programme Director, World Architecture Festival

Many of our inherited binary notions of identity—female/male, nature/city, wild/tame—continue to influence architecture and urban design, though science and culture increasingly demonstrate their limits. How can our model of the city evolve when we think beyond oppositional relationships and focus instead on connecting for mutual benefit?

A growing consciousness of all things beneficial to health and happiness is resulting in a trickling down effect and a widespread societal demand for healthy living environments. Today’s residents want convenient shared amenities which encourage a sense of community and promote physical and psychological wellbeing. On the one hand we are witnessing the global development of big data and smart cities, while on the other there is call for ‘social cities’ with a more creative mix of work, welfare, active leisure and community sharing. Health and wellbeing have recently evolved from a seemingly universal social right, to the responsibility of the individual. From experiments in human gene-editing and biohacking, to increased demand for affordable fresh and healthy produce for all, a new egalitarian ideal is emerging which increasingly renders the exclusive, inclusive.
