Self-navigating cars, small streets and a city crawling with information is architect Jurgen Mayer H.'s winning idea for Audi's Urban Future Award,
announced this week at the Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy.
Audi's Urban Future competition tapped six firms--also included were
Alison Brooks Architects, BIG, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Cloud 9 and
Standardarchitecture--to imagine mobility and urbanism in the city of
2030. The winning concept, by J. Mayer H. Architects
focused on a future where navigating an urban environment is no longer
the headache-inducing, traffic-snarling norm--and driving will actually
be an entirely pleasant experience.
