How is Life? takes another look at the various facets of our everyday lives, reframing architecture as something that serves to make people’s lives better and exploring ways in which design can be employed to achieve prosperity not premised on growth.
How should we live in the era of “prosperity without growth”?
Human activities since the Industrial Revolution have exceeded the planetary boundary, causing climate change and the North-South disparity. How should we live in an era of “prosperity without growth” in line with the natural regenerative capacity of our planet, and how should architecture be in this context?
This book summarizes the contents of the ambitious exhibition “How is Life” held at TOTO GALLERY・MA, and includes additional articles and interviews by the supervisors. By introducing projects that offer possibilities which depart from traditional conceptions of architecture and the city, the book sparks a fresh awareness, inspiring you to explore new perspectives for living together with our Earth.
