This week we get back into small modular reactors (SMRs). There's news from Rolls Royce on redesigns and what they bring. We also look at how the technology is being exported around the world. Then we have a fascinating chat with Usman Haque. We discuss his journey from art and design into architecture into combining these passions with some really interesting tech. We focus on the projects Umbrellium have worked on but also touch on Thingful as well. Carrying on from our interview, we chat about smart cities in our tech spot. We discuss the tech that can be used, how it could help towards a zero carbon future and what incentives big businesses have to get involved in creating truly smart cities. We hope you enjoy this episode! If you do, please consider leaving us a review. It's super easy and really helps us out.

                SMRs, Usman Haque, and Smart Cities
            

In episode 24 of the podcast we speak to Usman Haque, founding partner of Umbrellium – an architecture and design company that builds urban technologies that support citizen empowerment and engagement. This insightful conversation unpacks how Usman began his career, how he ended up where he is today and his experiences along the way. Vince and Usman touch on the future of our cities, how they should be designed and why ultimately, they need to go beyond being smart and be engaging. For over 20 years Usman has used the skills he developed through formal architecture training to engineer and design not only physical spaces but the software and systems that bring them to life. Before creating Umbrellium, he launched Thingful.net, a search engine for the Internet of Things, as well as the IoT data infrastructure and community platform Pachube.com, which was acquired by LogMeIn and subsequently Google. Usman has received a number of exemplary accolades such as the 2008 Design of the Year Award (interactive) from the Design Museum, UK, 2009 World Technology Award (art), Japan Media Arts Festival Excellence prize and the Asia Digital Art Award Grand Prize.Enjoy!

Designing cities of the future with Usman Haque

Usman Haque has used his training as an architect to inform an extensive career designing smart city projects.  His work at Umbrellium goes much farther than what is typically thought of as smart cities – he has applied a creative approach to create greater engagement of citizens in public spaces, anticipating changes and evolution to deliver a better quality of life.  We discuss the considerations involved in designing and implementing projects and the approach, the value of platforms and toolkits (along with the evolution of Pachube and the Urban Innovation Toolkit) as well as Thingful, the IoT data search engine.
