Formgiving. An Architectural Future History, the new book by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), is a visionary attempt to look at the horizon of time.

Using our power to give form, rather than allowing the future to take shape, is more important now than ever, as humankinds impact on the planet continues to increase and pose ever greater challenges to all life forms. Architecture plays a special role by proposing spaces for our lives that are fragments of the future in the making. William Gibsons words embody architectures role perfectly: The future is already hereits just not evenly distributed.
