We are investigating the collapse of legacy urban infrastructure and designing the decentralized frameworks that will replace them.
Contemporary urban planning is obsessed with addition: more roads, more towers, more connectivity. VEXEL posits that the future city requires subtraction. We must identify obsolete systems—parking structures, centralized power grids, retail monoliths—and surgically remove them to create voids for autonomous adaptation.
Our research indicates that by 2035, 40% of current municipal infrastructure will be redundant due to decentralized logistics and remote work protocols. The challenge is not building new capacity, but managing the decay of the old. We are architects of managed decline and strategic void-creation.
Note: The trajectory of parking infrastructure obsolescence is advancing 2.4x faster than 2020 models predicted.
Developing self-healing material substrates embedded with mycelial networks for passive infrastructure maintenance without human intervention.
Re-purposing subterranean spaces of abandoned commercial high-rises for vertical farming and localized server storage cooling sinks.
Designating "human-exclusion zones" within city centers dedicated solely to high-speed robotic logistics and drone throughput.
