by Geoff Manaugh, blogging at bldgblog.blogspot.com - architectual conjecture, urban speculation, landscape futures. A book full of “stories about the past news about the present and speculation about the future of how humans shape their environment. [..] a book combining history urban exploration science fiction design climate change and city planning with the view that everything is relevant to architecture.” amazon

“InfraNet Lab is a research collective probing the spatial byproducts of contemporary resource logistics. The laboratory posits the argument that a body of unique built works continues to arise out of the complex negotiation of, and competition for, biotic and abiotic resources. Operating in a manner similar to infrastructures, these works have evolved to merge landscape, urbanism, and architecture into a sophisticated mutant assemblage of surfaces, containers, and conduits.”
