About this world

A society living with the possibility of war has transformed its architecture to protect its inhabitants. Modular buildings can descend underground; shelters and transport connect life above and below the surface. Humans and robots share work, intimacy and nightlife. How does everyday life change when the city itself can become a refuge?

About this world

Organic Futures imagines a Berlin where technological progress becomes time and wellbeing for everyone. Clean energy is abundant and free to access. Fossil fuels and pollution have been eliminated. Two-hour working days are made possible by sharing necessary work with robots and AI. Housing, food and care are guaranteed; poverty has almost disappeared. Nature is part of buildings, streets and infrastructure. What do we do with our lives when survival no longer consumes them? Desire, boredom, creativity and relationships with synthetic beings remain open questions.
