Utopia Forever conceived by Lukas Feireiss, is a collection of current projects and concepts from architecture, city planning, urbanism, and art that point beyond the restrictions of the factual to unleash the potential of creative visions. This inspiring work explores how current challenges for architecture, mobility, and energy as well as the logistics of food consumption and waste removal can be met. Text features by both architects and theorists give added insight.

Abstract

A skyscraper one mile high, a dome covering most of downtown Manhattan, a triumphal arch in the form of an elephant: some of the most exciting buildings in the history of architecture are the ones that never got built. These are the projects in which architects took materials to the limits, explored challenging new ideas, defied conventions, and pointed the way towards the future. Some of them are architectural masterpieces, some simply delightful flights of fancy. It was not usually poor design that stymied them – politics, inadequate funding, or a client who chose a ‘safe’ option rather than a daring vision were all things that could stop a project leaving the drawing board.

Abstract

De ruimte waarin een verhaal zich afspeelt wordt zelden afdoend beschreven in de roman en staat haaks op de vaak verregaande psychologisering van het personage. Toch plaatst de verbeelding van de lezer de handeling van de protagonisten in een latent decor. Deze bijzondere editie van DW B draait de rollen om. Schrijver, essayist en architect Christophe van Gerrewey (°1982) verzamelde in 50 fictieve gebouwen evenveel auteurs die een essay schreven over gebouwen uit de literatuurgeschiedenis. Deze ruimtes werden door de auteurs zelf gekozen om later neerschreven in een eigen interpretatie, op de oppervlakte van één bladzijde van het tijdschrift - een beperking van om en bij de 450 woorden. Eenzelfde oppervlakte kreeg de architect, kunstenaar of illustrator ter beschikking, die vanuit de interpretatie van de auteur een tekening voorzag.

Abstract

Inhabitable Infrastructures: Science fiction or urban future?, the follow up to Food City and Smartcities and Eco-Warriors, from one of the world’s leading urban design and architectural thinkers, explores the potential of climate change-related multi-use infrastructures that address the fundamental human requirements to protect, to provide and to participate. The stimulus for the infrastructures derives from postulated scenarios and processes gleaned from science fiction and futurology as well as the current body of scientific knowledge regarding changing environmental impacts on cities. Science fiction is interdisciplinary by nature, aggregates the past and present, and evaluates both lay opinions and professional strategies in an attempt to develop foresight and to map possible futures.The research culminates in the creation of innovative multi-use infrastructures and integrated self-sustaining support systems that meet the challenges posed through climate change and overpopulation, and the reciprocal benefits of simultaneously addressing the threat and the shaping of cities. J. G. Ballard has written that the psychological realm of science fiction is most valuable in its predictive function, and in projecting emotions into the future.The knowledge from the book is widely transferable, constituting both solutions and speculative visions of future urban environments. The book is indispensable reading for professionals and students in the fields of urban design, architecture, engineering and environmental socio-politics.
