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.
