AGILE LANDSCAPE PROJECT

The AGILE Landscape Project seeks to improve cities and public space through ADAPTIVE GENERATIVE and INTELLIGENT LANDSCAPE EXPERIMENTATION. The project draws inspiration from both the agile software model and the Lean Startup methodology. The agile software development model is based on iterative incremental development process for solving problems through self-organizing and cross-functional teams. While similar, the Lean Startup methodology creates an environment of experimentation where minimal viable products (MVPs) are developed to quickly validate solutions. These approaches have also inspired tactical urbanism projects throughout the world where citizens are incrementally experimenting with the creation of new public spaces. The AGILE Landscape Project seeks to take this iterative urbanism one step further to create permanent landscape solutions that are adaptable to the needs of the user. The intelligence aspect of the project explores the use of sensors and big data to better..
