We will present our final project 'Shift' on the third of July, @strelkaschool here in Moscow with other students and these great speakers.
–––––––––––––
Shifting social norms and emerging technologies changing the future of our cities - at the Strelka New Normal showcase.
The New Normal 2016/17 Showcase is a two-evening presentation of the first year of research of our joint design think-tank. The event will feature new presentations of our core faculty and guest speakers and premiere seven projects by the programme researchers.

How an alternative history of "Neocosmism" could have affected the technological and social development of Russian cities? Can automation be framed as an opportunity for labour unions rather than a threat? How can a cryptocurrency set in motion the colonisation of the Arctic?
Cites are not just about form but also process and platforms. In the age of artificial intelligence, ecological precarity, and financial transformation and so many more uncertain developments, we ask once more how metropolitanism is connected to cosmopolitanism.
Even as we take emerging technologies as our urban tool-kit, the attitude with which we plot our research is both technical and exploratory (and one because of the other). For this, the speculative is not supplemental to serious work; it is essential to our research responsibilities in a moment of change and uncertainty.
With our 2050 brief in mind, the urban is taken more as a format for design than a genre of design. Cities are media for the circulation of potentials and to search that potential this means getting out of our own skins.
In the course of the two evenings, visitors will see the results of our creative research in the form of public talks and live presentations, cinematic outcomes and discussion.
The work you will see is the culmination of five months of research, investigation and creative exploration. As you will see, the program redefines urban design to include not only architecture and infrastructure but also experience, interaction and economics. You will see proposals ranging from software platforms to housing models, from labour networks to augmented reality games.
Presenters will include:
— Rem Koolhaas, world famous architect, architectural theorist, urbanist and thinker, founding partner of OMA and winner of the Pritzker Prize and Strelka’s first programme director;
