What is the future of architecture?

“The future of” is a participatory book project initiated by Crap is good which tries to provide an insight into the future role of architecture. Realizing the problematic nature of the simple question ‘What is the future of Architecture?’ we feel it is still somehow relevant in describing the architectural practice of today.
After many months, and a big collaborative effort, we are very proud to announce the release of the book! And with it, our very own publishing imprint!
Every architectural attempt starts by making a representation of an imaginative situation or design, which will happen, or could happen in the future. In many cases an architectural design remains a future plan, and in times of economical and political crisis, the question of what comes next, gains relevance. So, while architects shape the future, this book is concerning about the future of architecture.
Over the past few months we have asked this question trough an open call on right here on this website. These answers, together with a selection of invited architectural offices, artists and theorists, such as Marjetica Potrc, 2012 architecten, Aristide Antonas, Rotor, and many more, form a fragmented map of thoughts of an international audience. Putting together the pieces of this map, and trough critical reading, we might find some answers into dealing with architecture tomorrow.
