Architecture and the future of Earth
On Earth Day, we dig into Beatrice Galilee’s new book, to see how architecture can help - but also harm - our world
The way we build things is going to change. That’s the clear message from Beatrice Galilee’s bold new book, Radical Architecture of the Future. This new title takes in some of the most promising, innovative and startling responses to the way mankind shapes the planet. Far from limiting the title to simple house building, the book takes in tech, art, agriculture, sex and protest, to truly question how we make our built environment, and how we might make it better. Of course, many of these future schemes focus on our natural environment, and on Earth Day, we’d like to share a few of these.
