Abstract

As the complexity and problems of the world proliferate so does the making of things that matter. As architects, designers, creatives, artists, and urbanists have become more sought after than ever and the decisions related to creation and making requires there to be increasingly explicit productions to yield meaningful and healthy products, experiences, interiors, urban spaces, places, and buildings. For the best way to invent the future is to make it. And the best way to predict the future is to create it. Post-disciplinary is becoming more and more the norm in today’s marketplace. Post-disciplinary necessitates that our voices are disparate and unique incorporating multiples and futures, speculations and actualities, accounting for the varied people, places, and settings we have come from and will become. What is the future of practice that makes disciplinary boundaries archaic? A post-disciplinary approach envisions the future of cities: urban environments, spaces, and the public realm by probing cities and how they evolve and function. For real change to occur, processes and procedures that need to be acted upon will begin to reshape the current world, its ecology and the environments connected to it, so that there will be an actualization of the potential to truly initiate and promote novel approaches and procedures for the betterment and welfare of the planet and the people who inhabit it. What will this new sustainability look like, the post-disciplinary approach that pushes on the borders and boundaries of preconceived notions of what can be accomplished through the various guises of the built environment.
