Today, our cities produce unprecedented amounts of data. What’s more, the amount of data we produce globally is doubling every year. The platform for this mass information exchange is the Internet of Things (IoT).
Sensors in our phones, computers and vehicles actively and passively collect reams of information, as do streetlights, buildings and power lines. The convergence between digital information and the physical environment, bound by IoT networks, has enormous potential. We have real-time datasets on everything from temperature, humidity and pollution, to vibration, light and sound and our daily movements.
The Senseable City Lab strives to anticipate and study these changes and networks, developing tools to harness data and learn more about our cities. The research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) promotes the smart city beyond the urban planning buzz word, encouraging standardization efforts that ensure open network IoT solutions and protocols that support complex communications flows. Using sensors and networks, we can diagnose city infrastructure and respond as needed in real-time.
The Future of Facade lighting
This webinar will give you insights into AI-driven facades, IoT integration, and real-time environmental interaction—helping you stay ahead of emerging design and technology trends.
People First, lighting Second
Attend this webinar(July 2026) to understand and apply a human-centred approach to lighting design that prioritises human wellbeing over architecture-driven solutions.
Can we still design consciously with light
Watch this webinar(February 2026) to explore how lighting and architectural designers can make responsible, future-ready decisions by balancing creativity, sustainability, ethics, and emerging technologies like AI.
