    An infographic featuring Livia Schaeffer involved with renewable energy projects represented by wind turbines, a train, and architectural development, showcasing her connection with IE University and United Nations.

    Livia Schaeffer - UN-Habitat, UNITAC

    The lecture will bring perspectives from applying design principles and methodologies in the international development context, including human-centred design and beyond, to explore how design practices are contributing to build climate smart cities that drive resilience while also being inclusive and people-centred. The lecture will also reflect on how the concepts of design and user experience are applied in the international development field. Examples from innovative design practices will be completed by case studies and an overview of UN-Habitat’s work with climate action and people-centred smart cities.

    Architecture exhibitions are a special task for curatorial practice because they rely on representations of the design, planning or images of the completed buildings and usually cannot show the finished work itself. But the architecture exhibition can become an independent architectural manifesto if it takes a reflective stance on the dominant practices and presents new approaches to the discipline. The basis for a critical practice in the area of architecture exhibitions is a methodical process that takes into account both the spatial conditions of the exhibition venue and the demands of the visitors from the outset.
