ABSTRACT

In consideration of architecture, cities, and the future, I present a series of very brief postulates, or working hypotheses, to help think the connection between them: postulates that bear less on architecture than perhaps they do on the notion of futurity and the new. I do not want to engage particularly in predicting or making projections onto possible futures, but rather to explore how the very concept of the new and futurity (at least as they are presently embodied) impact on and may help reconfigure the way that bodies, cities, and their relations are thought.
