Virtuous City; Manufacturing Open-source Urbanism
Urban Commons and Wellness
Supervisor - Dr. Cho Im Sik
The thesis proposes an alternative urban form - Open Source Urbanism - that expounds on the ‘transparency’ of Blockchain transactions to synthesise the procurement of urban sharing, collaboratives and leisure activities within a highly diversified and securitised environment. It pushes the principles of Bitcoin - an open, distributed ledger recording transactions between parties involved - to formulate a city network that marries the requirements of surveillance and the digital revolution. At its core, the system bridges the contestations of urban activities across multiple agencies inhabiting the district. Virtue is used as a tool to negotiate the contestations between civility and security, and in commodified into a self-regulatory component for the production and consumption of urban activities.
