Summary:
Photographer Sean Lotman and his son Tennbo present a collection of collaborative works in which they took photographs of each other with a Polaroid camera and corresponded through letters. The relationship between the two is layered by the multiple exposures of the camera, blending the gaze of the son with the perspective of the child. ‘Puking Rainbows Past and Future’ gathers memories of the now that contain both “then” and “now”. The images are reproduced in transparent foil with the same dimensions as Polaroid film, while the codex binding uses the rainbow colours of the book’s title. Extras include an essay by Sean and illustrations by Tennbo.

Summary:
New challenges on a global scale have forced a rethinking about the way homes and communities are designed. This book provides an engaging and in-depth analysis of possible solutions, providing hope for the future. Broadly speaking these challenges came in three ways: environmental, social, and economic.

Summary:
"Inhabitable infrastructures: science fiction or urban future?", the follow up to "Food city and smartcities and eco-warriors", from one of the world’s leading urban design and architectural thinkers, explores the potential of climate change-related multi-use infrastructures that address the fundamental human requirements to protect, to provide and to participate. The stimulus for the infrastructures derives from postulated scenarios and processes gleaned from science fiction and futurology as well as the current body of scientific knowledge regarding changing environmental impacts on cities. Science fiction is interdisciplinary by nature, aggregates the past and present, and evaluates both lay opinions and professional strategies in an attempt to develop foresight and to map possible futures. The research culminates in the creation of innovative multi-use infrastructures and integrated self-sustaining support systems that meet the challenges posed through climate change and overpopulation, and the reciprocal benefits of simultaneously addressing the threat and the shaping of cities. J. G. Ballard has written that the psychological realm of science fiction is most valuable in its predictive function, and in projecting emotions into the future. The knowledge from the book is widely transferable, constituting both solutions and speculative visions of future urban environments. The book is indispensable reading for professionals and students in the fields of urban design, architecture, engineering and environmental socio-politics.
