We had the chance to have an amazing two part discussion with Alfredo and Hubert on our podcast, Social Design Insights. ![]() ![]() In the past couple of years, U-TT has started to adapt to the new conditions post-COVID and to refocus on building a global practice, beginning with development projects in South America and expanding to South Africa, Uganda, Columbia, the USA, and Norway. The work is driven by the idea that good products and processes will only arise when the discourse that births them consists of both words and actions. A think tank is a group of people whose sole profession is to read, write, research, and discuss topics that are of importance to the social good. By using new approaches to incorporate verticality into the redevelopment of unbuilt environments, it has the potential to become a tool for the community to create new spaces and open areas for new businesses, recreational facilities, and more.ĭuring the COVID-19 pandemic, U-TT created an alternative teaching platform, called “ Dis_Local”. U-TT approaches the use of verticality in a new light residents are the organizers of their own space, and these spaces remain open to constant modification. However, in many slums/barrios/favelas around the world, builders lack the heavy equipment or capital to build vertically. Think Tank RSS How Suppliers Can Overcome E-Commerce Supply Chain Challenges MaDan Neiweem, SCB Contributor B2B suppliers are consistently failing to fulfill the needs of their customers. The evidence needs and access to information. To residents of New York or Tokyo, the notion of building vertically is a familiar concept. What will your think tank do To answer this, you must first understand the context in which you’re working. The exercise will be a combination of desk based. Thus, U-TT has prompted an exploration into using the vertical to address dense slum conditions and urban neighborhoods. The review will include a critical analysis of the UNDP approach as it compares to other development partners. For example, in the twentieth century, organizing low-income neighborhoods in vertical towers proved to be a general failure. A think tank, or policy institute, is a research institute that performs research and advocacy concerning topics such as social policy, political strategy, economics, military, technology, and culture. Instead, the current focus of architecture should be using design to improve unbuilt environments. Now that cities have been established and developed, U-TT argues that it is time to depart from outdated, urban-centric, nineteenth and twentieth-century architectural models. ![]() Brillembourg and Klumpner continued their partnership in Zürich until 2019. In 2001, Brillembourg invited Hubert Klumpner to co-found the U-TT NGO and later in 2007 to co-founded the U-TT company in Caracas, Venezuela. Alfredo Brillembourg founded the Urban-Think Tank (U-TT) collective in 1998 as an informal multi-disciplinary research group in his home in Altamira, Caracas.
