Research and Markets: Architectures of the Near Future: Architectural Design
DUBLIN-(Business Wire)-September 15, 2009 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/680634/architectures_of_t) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Architectures of the Near Future: Architectural Design" to their offering.
In this highly pertinent issue, guest-editor Nic Clear questions received notions of the future. Are the accepted norms of economic growth and expansion the only means by which society can develop and prosper? Should the current economic crisis be making us call into question a future of unlimited growth? Can this moment of crisis economic, environmental and technological enable us to make more informed choices about the type of future that we want and can actually achieve? Architectures of the Near Future offers a series of alternative voices, developing some of the neglected areas of contemporary urban life and original visions of what might be to come. Rather than providing simplistic and seductive images of an intangible shiny future, it rocks the cosy world of architecture with polemical blasts.
