Formgiving. An Architectural Future History, the new book by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), and the latest installment in its TASCHEN trilogy, is a visionary attempt to look at the horizon of time, from the Big Bang into the most distant future. The volume addresses six evolutionary trajectories, and the development of artificial intelligence, sustainability, interplanetary migration, among others, in the context of architecture and design, in order to give form to the future world we want to inhabit—right now.
The book features:
previously unpublished essays by Bjarke Ingels, award-winning photography by Laurian Ghinitoiu, Iwan Baan, and Rasmus Hjortshøj, among others, planetary proposals for habitats on the Moon and research centers on Mars, 20 LEGO master-builder models of BIG''s work, a glimpse of Masterplanet-BIG''s ongoing work on a collective, crowdsourced masterplan guide for sustaining our planet.
