Urban Energy explores how designers and architects integrate power generation, resource management, and environmental systems into built environments. The topic encompasses strategies for creating self-sufficient communities, reducing energy consumption, and embedding ecological systems within urban infrastructure.

Community members investigate living facades and vertical gardens as climate control solutions, design resilient city models and sustainable towers, and develop adaptive housing that responds to both human needs and natural ecosystems. Projects range from retrofitting existing urban fabric to imagining new city typologies centered on energy efficiency and ecological integration.

Farm/House, A Hustle Hub for Young Hustler

Farm/House is a new housing strategy that combines housing with urban farming. Here, a young hustler who doesn't have much money to rent a house at the city center can rent as they need. They can rent the initial minimum house unit that can be extended later. The unused housing space that they don't rent will work as urban farming. Simple and profitable!

Hexagon City challenges the norm by using materials at hand at the building side, by making optimal use of the land and by applying low-tech solutions to supply the city with durable energy, water, shade and cooling.Although it can be added we do not prefer high-tech solutions for their need of scarce raw materials.
