If we ever wonder what the future could look like, all we have to do is take a look into our past, and observe how far we have come since thousands, a hundred, or even ten years ago. Life was radically different back then and it will be just as different in the future. And since we are well aware that the future merely resembles the present, we have the possibility to shape our future the way we want to. TASCHEN's latest BIG book installment Formgiving. An Architectural Future History explores the past, present, and future, drawing a timeline of the built environment from taking shape to giving form.
TASCHEN first collaborated with BIG architects to produce Yes is More. An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution, a comic manifesto of the architecture firm’s new concepts of architecture. The second publication Hot to Cold. An Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation, is a book which explores case studies of architectural adaptations in critical and extreme environments.
