Pamphlet Architecture 37 seeks innovative architectural visions and experiments that explore the future and a transformation of consciousness. Entries should possess the rigour and excitement found throughout the rich history of Pamphlet Architecture — aspire to thought experiments.

Ask how to:

• Look into the future while preserving the landscape?
• Respect the power of nature while envisioning future architectures?
• Imagine new light, air, and spatial energy?
• Design new architecture for a new consciousness?

Today, the science and art of architecture merge as we aim for a transformation of consciousness following the global pandemic. A list of reconsiderations include:

• Global shift to renewable energy: elimination of fossil fuels; transformation of transportation industry.
• Shift the food chain: localize food production; farm-to-table replace flown-in, shipped-in, trucked-in foods (shipping jobs transformed to local growth jobs); waste treatment.
• Reduction of global flying: eliminate non-essential redundant flying.
• Tourism reduction: in overrun tourist destinations—Hawaiian islands, Venice, and many others—majority of locals want tourism reduced as it is destructive and disrespectful.
• Shift workplace to home office and live/work: supported by the digital revolution; replace the need for new office towers; re-work existing office buildings to residential hybrid buildings; eliminate commuting.
• Urban rezoning for hybrid live/work future: require more public greenspace, ecological balance and biodiversity in urban designs.
• Design new architecture for walkable communities: re-work abandoned shopping malls and parking lots into greenspaces; new future towns with living, working, recreational, and cultural programs, all with net-zero energy designs.
• Nature awareness and action via science and collaboration: pandemic urban exodus caused millions of people to become more aware of nature; launch new actions for protection of natural landscapes and ecosystems in balance with new architectures.
• Transformation of consciousness propelled by arts and culture: future poetry, painting, sculpture, music, and architecture created in a spirit of new balance, full of hope and future potential.
• Revolution in bio-science: new health futures opened by CRISPR and other recent discoveries, like the discovery of one trillion galaxies in the universe, open us to unknown potential.
