DESCRIPTION:Christoph Reinhart\nProfessor at MIT Department of Architectur
 e\nDesign Tools in Support of Sustainable Urban Architecture\nFor today’
 s knowledge workers\, the boundaries between work and private lives are er
 oding. We can now work anywhere and anytime: At Starbucks and during our k
 ids’ swim practice. While at work\, we may play Pokemon Go\, go running 
 or catch a nap. As our schedules are becoming unique imprints of our lifes
 tyle choices\, our buildings and neighborhoods need to become flexible eno
 ugh to accommodate potentially conflicting environmental needs when one bu
 ilding occupant may go for a blue-light fix along with a double shot espre
 sso while her colleague opts for low color temperature lighting and herbal
  tea.\nWhile accommodating such intensely individualized experiences\, our
  cities have to house more people using less natural resources. Drawing on
  recent work at the MIT Sustainable Design Lab on environmental urban perf
 ormance analysis regarding building energy use\, daylighting\, outdoor the
 rmal comfort and building integrated agriculture\, this presentation demon
 strates how a new generation of design tools can be productively used at t
 he interface between architecture and urban planning and reflects on what 
 types of urban living may emerge from these design explorations.
