WAT DOET A LAB?
Stichting A Lab brengt achter de muren van het oude Shell laboratorium ruim 300 creatieve, innovatieve en maatschappelijke ondernemers samen. Het pand van 5000m2 is omgetoverd tot een Living Lab met inspirerende werkruimtes, gezamenlijke meeting rooms en event spaces. Als stichting maken ze vruchtbare crossovers mogelijk door een diverse community, een actief eventprogramma en partnerships. Met het samenbrengen van mensen uit verschillende sectoren wil A Lab impact maken op de buurt, de stad en de (internationale) omgeving. Kortom, A Lab is dé plek voor het creatieve experiment!

Ze vertellen je tijdens deze Meetup graag meer over A Lab en laten je kennis maken met een paar van hun members.

Map the future of your business in a meaningful way!

The future is uncertain. Recent environmental, societal and technological developments give us a hard time understanding the changes our world goes through. For Businesses it can be challenging to keep up. A focus on products, services and customers isn’t enough anymore: it also means understanding the world and our relationship with it, and within it, in a different way.

Speculative design is an approach that offers tools to map the future in a meaningful way. Instead of focussing on problems in the present, speculative designs imagines how developments change over time and effect the future. By building a both possible and preferable future you combine business vision and practice. It enables you to describe your role in the near future as a business and offers speculation about matching products or services. It opens up ways of thinking about business beyond an immediate attempt to solve current problems, and instead see opportunities to affect longer term change in the world.

We will use the intervention design approach, a method that aims at (re)shaping a new practice that is useful now, not in the future.

Theo Ploeg
Dedicated accelerationist. design and media sociologist. tells stories of possible futures. Lives happily in the extreme now. Researches, teaches, talks and writes. Wandering on the edges of speculative design, design fiction, pop culture, accelerationism and speculative realism. Co-Founder of Speculative Futures Amsterdam.

Mick Jongeling
I research the visual and social impact of rapidly developing technologies on individuals and society. I strive to create pieces of work that questions the current state of the Internet and our involvement in it, being it by speculative design, participatory design or field research. Co-Founder of Speculative Futures Amsterdam.

Speculative Futures Amsterdam is a component chapter of the global Speculative Futures community, hosted at the Digital Society School.

Speculative Futures is an international community of meetups focused on Speculative & Critical Design, Design Fiction, Futurism, and Strategy & Foresight and any vision or approach which involves using design as a vehicle to speculate about potential or alternate futures. Speculative Futures is an effort steered by the Design Futures Initiative.

Introduction to the Amsterdam urban region and its major policy challenges. How has the city developed in the last decades and what are the major policy issues at the moment regarding economic, social and spatial development? How does the city government attempt to involve citizen knowledge in its development?

This lecture is based on University of Applied Sciences research evaluating smart city projects with a focus on non-technological aspects, including forms of cooperation and partnerships, business models and scaling potential. The focus is on key lessons learned and factors for success for setting up and scaling multi-stakeholder smart city projects. Benchmark Amsterdam-based projects and learn the factors for success for developing, launching, and scaling up multi-stakeholder smart city projects.

Policy innovation through collaboration between private, public and civic partners together with knowledge institutions is increasingly seen as the best way to address complex urban challenges. One way to this is through so called “Urban Living Labs” where residents, companies, governments, students and researchers collectively tackle metropolitan problems by immersing themselves in the solution as it is being developed. What are the benefits and pitfalls of these types of living labs? In this session we share the experience and lessons accumulated by Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences with innovating through Urban Living Labs and provide specific examples and lessons learned from several projects in Amsterdam.
