** IMMINENT COMMONS: Urban Questions for the Near Future (http://actar.com/product/imminent-commons-urban-questions-for-the-near-future/)

Alejandro Zaera-Polo, Hyungmin Pai, urbanNext

The first book from the Seoul Biennale 2017, presents an imminent urban cosmology that is crucially mediated by the technologies and institutions that feed us, move us, condition our environments, recycle our refuse, make our clothes, and connect us into communities. Amidst radical social, economic and technological transformations, will the city become a driving force of creativity, diversity, and sustainability, or will it be a mechanism of inequality, despair, and environmental decay?

Doreen Heng Liu
Exhibits and visions of the 2015 Shenzhen Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism (UABB).
