| ONE Lab (1L) was founded as an urban non-profit group concerned for research and education in the synthesis of design and science. It began as an extraordinary think tank of mid-career architects, engineers, media artists, biologists, ecologists, robotics experts, industrial designers, urban agriculturists, physicists, inventors and planners seeking alternatives to traditional forms of teaching and professional practice. Through our interaction, we discovered the need for an interdisciplinary pedagogical urban zone, where students and practitioners can freely inquire, discuss, conduct experiments, and take actions that have a positive effect on the global community and cities. Our current research attempts to establish new forms of knowledge and new processes of practice at the interface of design, technology, engineering, and biology. |

| Founders' Vision |
| The ONE Lab Summer Session 2013 on Productive Cities (July 1st to July 26th, 2013) will take place at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The school will address one illuminating hypothesis: in the future, cities will grow to be self-sufficient in their critical necessities through massive public works and infrastructural support. The studio will explore the effects of technological interventions that can have profound impacts on the planet as a whole. Studio - Four weeks of intense exploration of the productive future of the city. Using New York as a laboratory, the studio will rethink what is salubrious about the city, in both its forms and its life. The studio will meet for six hour every week day. Every Friday, we will have reviews with distinguished critics. The final review on July 26th will be a day-long celebration of the future of cities. Lectures - TED style talks given by world renown architects, biologists, ecologists, industrial designers and artists offering radically new responses to the real needs and aspirations of future cities. Workshops - In series of workshops the participants will learn the processes of urban farming, synthetic biology, smart materials and nanotechnology, growing materials, scripting and computational modeling for controlled growth. |
