Synopsis

Architectural Projections of the Future is a speculative work that critically and transdisciplinarily explores the relationship between human beings, technology, space, and the future. Rather than viewing the future as a mere extension of the present, the book presents a gallery of possible temporalities—retrospective, present, and prospective—that invite us to rethink architecture as a sensitive expression of how we inhabit, think, and feel.

Drawing from classical science fiction, decolonial thought, and Andean cosmopolitics, this work weaves together stories and reflections where art, science, spirituality, and biocentrism converge. In the face of a civilizational crisis and technocratic dominance, this collection urges the need to imagine alternative worlds that rehumanize space and restore knowledge to its ethical, aesthetic, and collective vocation.
