The third issue of Too Much magazine is about migrant people. It is devoted to the questions of how and why individuals move between countries, and delves into the illusions that migrants carry with them. Migration changes people, memories and identity, but how do spaces, objects and landscapes change during this journey? The fast pace of technology has set the human world and its phenomena in constant motion, and the messy and complex place in which we live requires a new outlook and new values. With diverse contributions from Charlie Koolhaas, Fiona Tan, Chong Tese, Naoki Ishikawa, Ryan Gander and several others.

Résumé:
Buckminster Fuller’s prophetic 1962 book “Education Automation” brilliantly anticipated the need to rethink learning in light of a dawning revolution in informational technology – “upcoming major world industry.” Along with other essays on education, including “Breaking the Shell of Permitted Ignorance,” “Children: the True Scientists” and “Mistake Mystique” this volume presents a powerful approach for preparing ourselves to face epochal changes on spaceship earth: “whether we are going to make it or not... is really up to each one of us; it is not something we can delegate to the politicians – what kind of world are you really going to have?”

Résumé:
In the context of massive and accelerating change- in technology, science, climate, and society- the nature of architectural design is also evolving and coming to life in new ways. New York-based office The Living has developed a unique design approach that explores projects through the application of new technologies, materials, and the growing field of generative design (design that uses software to emulate nature's evolutionary processes). These methods are futuristic, even utopian, but also raw and immediate in their application of hands-on prototyping and testing through making. The Living addresses urgent issues through reframing design with today's tools.
