Team 3: The Living Data District

The Living Data District is a new district of Milan which unites Parco Sempione and City Life with a new data environment, celebrating the mixing of the city’s history and future, the built and the digital, science and art.

Here, data is honored as the digital pulse of the people, and is represented as an ever-beating holographic form that weaves in and out of the streets and buildings. This pulse has different frequencies and information based on the individual’s setting when wearing augmented reality glasses, creating a custom urban experience. Information is collected throughout the city through Data Pylons.

These fixtures serve personal data collectors, sensor hubs for real-time urban tracking, and backup data storage distributed throughout the district in a network of pedestrian and information pathways. The Pylons also contribute to the physical well-being of the city by creating shading canopies, storing solar energy and providing air filtration to actively reduce pollution. By distributing the opportunities for data interaction throughout the city, the public is given agency to actively contribute to the digital environment while inhabiting the physical one.

The Living Data Tower serves as a data storage hub for all of Milano, providing high-speed internet and information access to all the people in the district. At the top, an observatory provides a panoramic view of the city, with an  augmented layer of spatialized data upon the built environment, illuminating how alive the city is.
