Summary:
In the late 1960s the world was faced with impending disaster: the height of the Cold War, the end of oil and the decline of great cities throughout the world. Out of this crisis came a new generation that hoped to build a better future, influenced by visions of geodesic domes, walking cities and a meaningful connection with nature. In this work of cultural history, architect Douglas Murphy traces the lost archeology of the present day through the works of thinkers and designers such as Buckminster Fuller, the ecological pioneer Stewart Brand, the Archigram architects who envisioned the Plug-In City in the ’60s, as well as co-operatives in Vienna, communes in the Californian desert and protesters on the streets of Paris. In this mind-bending account of the last avant-garde, we see not just the source of our current problems but also some powerful alternative futures.

Summary:
Sophie Tasma-Anargyros has interviewed intellectuals, sociologists, architects, designers, artists and marketing specialists about their perception of the future: François Barré, Alix Brijatoff, Bernard Cathelat, Sylvain Dubuisson, Michele De Lucchi, Jean Nouvel, Marc Sadler, Ettore Sottsass and Philippe Starck. In the second part, Frédéric Loeb deciphers the present and puts forward hypotheses concerning contemporary society in the coming years. Each subject dealt with is aptly illustrated and commented on, as a support to thought. This project was initiated by VIA (Valorization of Innovation in Furniture), whose role is to anticipate significant changes in creation.
