Abstract

The introduction to the proceedings publication from the 2017 NAF/NAAR Symposium "Reflecting Histories and Directing Futures”.

The book discusses how the concept of the future has been expressed and understood in and by architecture in recent history, and in what way this understanding has shaped architectural discourse. It reflects on the agency of architecture and the visions and histories of different design cultures and their hegemony in society.
