Technology is transforming our lives, and will revolutionise our cities. This is how.

MInD Lab at Deakin University is bringing intelligence into design, bringing technology into our cities of the future.

Imagine a city that can respond to its human inhabitants – helping our comfort, performance, and wellbeing. That is the aim of a smart city – but bringing together that technology is a challenge. Tuba Kocaturk and her team are working to achieve exactly that, developing the ways people, technology and materials will interact in the built environments of the future.

To her, it’s all about creating new experiences at that point where they all meet.

However, it’s not just an architectural process. “We’re all creating our environment with the ways we act and behave and move and interact with the built environment,” she says.
