Standard-
architecture
Chinese architect Zhang Ke
studied urban design at Tsin-
ghua University in Beijing and
architecture at Harvard Univer-
sity. After learning his trade
in architecture fi rms in New
York, he founded Standard-
architecture in 1999 and moved
to Beijing, where he is now
among the most sought-after
architects. His most prominent
building projects include the
Yarlung Tsangpo shipping pier
in Tibet and the Qingcheng
Mountain Teahouse in Chengdu.
The 160-meter high “Dancing
Books” towers in Wuhan are in
the planning stages.
architects were off ered insight into the car manufacturers
development eff orts. They discovered that the future of
automotive technology is already within grasp today
in Ingolstadt. The fusion of the world of vehicles and the
Internet, driver assistance systems, electric mobility,
car-2-car and car-2-x communication – that is, dialog be-
tween the car and its infrastructure – all of these tech-
nological trends were vigorously discussed and found their
way into the architects’ concepts.
Competition winner Jürgen Mayer H. conceived the vision
of a driverless car that is constantly in computer-guided
motion, while passengers use the car as a retreat and a
place to communicate. The windshield – no longer needed
as a window in the driverless car – functions as a display
screen upon which the reality from a personalized world of
social media is superimposed. And the city? Since there is
no longer any need for traffi c signs, lights and parking bays,
there is more internal room for the city to grow. New open
areas are created.
The Copenhagen architecture fi rm BIG – Bjarke Ingels
Group also presented a concept that centered around
a driverless car. More intelligent vehicles and networks
may shape the city of the future more distinctly than new
construction materials or architectural styles. “Automated
