Vision & Research
Smart architecture and urbanism
Ton Venhoeven
"we need to solve the issues of our city’s metabolisms withín our urban regions, not somewhere far away"
"smart solutions and technology firstly require smart societies"
"the information revolution creates large opportunities for involving society’s clever citizens and organisational power"
Towards multimodal mobility networks
Ton Venhoeven, 2012
"a major challenge lies in distributing the enormous traffic flow among the different transportation options as efficiently as possible"
"transit hubs not only help to redistribute transportation flows, but also serve as an attractive draw"
"developing a smart combination of hubs and connections [...] is the route to the development of sustainable, polycentric network cities"
Sustainable Urban Regions
Ton Venhoeven, 2012
"the real challenge is to make entire urban regions truly sustainable"
"energy efficiency in construction and smart mobility can save a great deal of energy"
"the challenges lie in three realms: People, Planet and Profit"
Sustainable Architecture
Ton Venhoeven, 2012
"the cost-revenue ratio of any measure is extremely decisive for its successful application"
"we could save over half of the world's energy needs"
"a smart grid distributes power efficiently"
Social impulse of multimodal and public mixed use projects
Ton Venhoeven, 2012
"cities facilitate interactions on both the economic and social levels, which makes them an attractive place of establishment"

"multifunctional accommodations offer the tenants a wide variety of opportunities for dual use of space"
Future Health Care in Ageing Societies
Ton Venhoeven, 2012
"care can be organised much more efficiently in network relationships than in the current regional organisation"
"care costs are being driven up by factors such as an increasingly ageing and obese population"
"The general hospital becomes core hospital"
Microcosmos
Ton Venhoeven
"The notion of ‘exclusion’ from the world outside the capsule is replaced by the notion of inclusion in the unusual object of the world’s complexity"
"The microcosmos is a living body"
The capsule as node and event
Ton Venhoeven | Inaugural speech | 3 November 2006
"Western culture has a long history of pursuing idealised images"
"we can travel everywhere using machine capsules"
"what we really need are buildings and cities that we can interpret in a variety of ways"
Living cities
Ton Venhoeven
"each new design offers the opportunity to rethink every facet of life"
"good urban and environmental planning can limit the amount of automobile traffic"
Network
