A chapter in Future City Architecture for Optimal Living, 2015, pp 1-11 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Today, more people than ever live in the metropolises of our world. The tension between the explosively growing metropolises and their satellite cities, and between these interconnected regions and the diminishing rural communities, present immense social and economic challenges that require entirely new ways of thinking about and materialising architecture if the twenty-first century’s urban adventure is to succeed. And this is expressed in the most radical way in Flight Assembled Architecture.
