2086: Together How?

2086: Together How? is a book about the project of the Korean Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. Curated by its Artistic Directors Soik Jung and Kyong Park, the exhibition interrogated our Faustian ideology of progress and how we have sought unlimited material pleasure through industrialization, colonization, and globalization. Asserting that the making of a new ecocultural paradigm is a must for our survival to climate change, the book suggests that the environmental crisis is the last and best chance to better our humanity. 2086: Together How? begins with six essays about "Tomorrow's Myth," in collaboration with "e-flux architecture," followed by a quiz show that invites the participants to make decisions on social, political, and economic issues that impact the climate endgame. Along with three collaborations between architects and community activists about future possibilities in a big city, a small city, and rural communities in South Korea, it also includes a video project about a fictional "child-god" who can predict the future of climate endgame.
