“The future is not only something we finance, compute or predict. It is something we choose to design.”
We spend the week measuring the future in trillions of dollars, gigawatts, compute, interest rates and geopolitical power.
On weekends, we will ask a different question: what kind of world are we actually building?
We begin on the shore of Lake Zurich, at Le Corbusier's final building.
Small in scale, radical in conception, the Pavillon Le Corbusier reminds us of something easily forgotten in an age obsessed with AI infrastructure: technological revolutions eventually become cultural revolutions.
The Argument
why culture follows technology
An Open-Source Community of Ideas
we want readers to build it with us
The First Weekend Question
what should the architecture of the intelligent age look like?
Cities
Not simply its buildings, but the cities we choose to inhabit.
Homes & Workplaces
The spaces where daily life and labor are lived.
Institutions & Relationships
The structures and bonds that hold a society together.
Culture
Its idea of a good life.
