A new book by Beatrice Galilee explores how architecture can effect change
Radical Architecture of the Future, a new book from curator and critic Beatrice Galilee, aims to present the most inspiring, innovative and forward-thinking architecture of recent years, through projects which propose new ways of seeing, understanding and building our environment and the spaces around us.
Presented through thematic chapters spotlighting contemporary architecture’s ‘visionaries’, ‘insiders’, ‘radicals’, ‘breakthroughs’ and ‘masterminds’, the featured cross-disciplinary projects include everything from public space to game design.
Tackling existing and accelerating issues from social inequality to environmental catastrophe, the book’s projects suggest how architecture can play a role in building a more inclusive and sustainable future. Here are a few of ICON’s favourites.
