Constructing Adaptive Street Ecologies : Designing Interaction-Based Frameworks

This research proposes the design of an adaptive system for the street environment through the pedestrians behaviours. By designing interventions for the street environment, the research aims to demonstrate how to create an adaptive street ecology. Adaptive street ecology is described as an environment which shapes itself through the understanding of its agents, the pedestrians.

  • Selin Zileli is a design researcher and PhD candidate at the Intelligent Mobility Design Centre group in the RCA funded by Hyundai-Kia. Her work examines the circular interactions between space, human and non-human agents.

    As a designer, Selin is passionate about integrating the concepts of emergence, adaptation and cybernetics. She seeks to answer the question of how can we design responsive spaces that engage with its users by generating interactions in a process of mutual adaptation?

    Selin's work has been presented at the Saatchi Gallery, London Design Festival 2019 and presented at the MIT Design Lab, DesForM 2019 Beyond Intelligence Conference.
