Future Echoes | Echoes Future

Our society needs to acknowledge the impact of our current decisions on the future of our nation and the generations that will inhabit it during those eras.

We need to be aware of the echoes from these decisions and engage the generations in such a way that they recognise both now and in the future how they will be impacted.

This blog will explore and document this process and concept from its initial formulation to its possible outcomes.

A Holistic Approach: "Breaking Away from the Linear"

The idea to break away from a linear plane of thought is brought forward to us by Bernard Tschumi who developed the patterns of "Transprogramming." Through this he discusses the idea of the layering of one function on top of another which provides multiple programmes which interact and destabilize each other (Rendell, 2006, p.116). Transprogramming in particular suggests the placement of two programs being brought together which would not normally have any association with each other.
