Stream #03 – Inhabiting the anthropocene

The third issue of the annual research book-magazine at the intersection of architecture, art and economy, addresses our urban condition at the age of Anthropocene, with contributions by about forty renowned international contributors, in long and elaborate interviews.

Stream 3 is focused on the phenomenon of rapid urbanization of the planet, now synonymous with globalization. We live in a time of mutations: the population explosion concentrates the humanity in major global cities, making them the main venue for resolving challenges—between environmental awareness and ubiquity of digital technologies—for the pursuit of economic, social and sustainable development.
The term Anthropocene describes a new geological age, where human activity become the predominant geophysics force. The implications of this concept exceed the context of scientific debates. Stream 3 seeks conceptual tools for thinking out our urban condition at the age of Anthropocene.

Stream is a biennial research book-magazine on the relationship between the world of production, contemporary art, design and architecture. Stream connects, links, creates a global platform between different environments.
Each issue of Stream is crossed by a common theme to all three sections of the journal: Production, Creation, Architecture. Stream presents findings from a current and critical analysis of the capitalist society, and of the worldwide contemporary changes which have given rise to new relations between capital and creation, the possibilities for further action and collaboration in its various fields of study.
Stream addresses contemporary questions through a multiplicity of contributions (essays, interviews and portfolios) from a variety of disciplines (philosophy, économy, geography or sociology…) and creative practices (contemporary art, design, experimental architecture…) to understand and shape the architecture and urbanism of tomorrow.
