Urban Angiogenesis / BIO Smart City 3.0 Knafo Klimor Architects & Prof. Ronit Satchi-Fainaro, Ph.D. BIO Smart City 3.0 is a dynamic installation which applies the biological process of angiogenesis - through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing ones - in order to explore new methods of preventing urban over-densification. Global trends of migration towards urban centers are increasing exponentially, overtaxing urban infrastructure to the point where it risks collapsing beyond repair. In order to assess the moment – where overcrowding in a city has reached ‘the point of no return’, this project examines if tackling urban sickness could be pioneered according to biological principles and methodologies which govern cancer research.
