FutureCityLab (ftr.ct.lb)

Future City Lab (ftr.ct.lb) is an open-source initiative for designing our future urban environments. ftr.ct.lb is generating with the means of crowd sourcing a positive utopia for 2050.

ftr.ct.lb is a collaboration of leading engineers, universities and scientists worldwide in or- der to elaborate a (positive) urban vision for the next generations.
This vision should help to establish the planning directions that we need to take today.

RE-CLOTHING THE CITY - WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FABRICS AND URBANISM?

Buildings are responsible for about 50 % of the countrywide energy consumption. The EU-carbon roadmap is envisioning a 90% carbon reduction of the building sector until 2050. This requires a re-clad- ding of the entire building stock within the European Union – other countries will certainly follow.

Combined with insulation, fabrics can potentially play a significant role in this re-cladding task (fabric composites / high tech fabrics like used for outdoor clothing). Fab- ric re-cladding systems could potentially be inexpensive, provide a relatively fast installation and has an “adjustable” esthetics.
