Digital technologies have brought about a remarkable shift in our perception of time, blurring the boundaries between the past and the future. This pervasive presence of the present has led to a disappearance of the distinctions that once separated these temporal realms. While contemporary architecture may appear to have lost its ability to envision the past as a catalyst for transformation, this book emphasizes the importance of reevaluating our complex temporal mechanisms through the lens of the untimely. By embracing this concept, we unlock a vast array of possibilities to transcend the confines of what seems predictable.
The contributors to this book employ critical concepts and architectural design tools to present experimental and speculative approaches for the unknown futures of architecture. They challenge traditional notions of time and space, exploring new dimensions and possibilities that redefine the very nature of architectural practice. Through their innovative ideas and visionary designs, they invite us to envision a future where architecture is not merely a reflection of the present but a catalyst for shaping the unknown.
In conclusion, the effacement of divisions and the ubiquitous presence of the present brought about by digital technologies have profound implications for the future of architecture. This book serves as a call to action, urging architects to rethink their approach to time and embrace the untimely as a means of unlocking new possibilities and shaping the unknown. By doing so, we can create buildings that not only reflect our current realities but also anticipate and influence the future in meaningful and transformative ways.
