Earlier this week, architect Marc Kushner was featured here on the Big Think homepage talking about how to redesign an urban landscape:

Kushner is the author of the new book <a href="http://books.simonandschuster.com/The-Future-of-Architecture-in-100-Buildings/Marc-Kushner/9781476784922" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings</a> and he’s out and about on his PR tour sharing all sorts of neat information from his book. Today he’s the focus of a piece at <a href="http://www.wired.com/2015/04/20-buildings-show-future-architecture/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wired</a> in which he makes a fascinating statement about current architectural trends: <blockquote> “More than ever, today’s architecture is fueled by an acceleration of technology, material science, and down-to-try-it attitude. As Kushner argued in a <a href="https://medium.com/@marchitizer/a-new-golden-age-of-architecture-825fb7ed652c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent post</a> in Medium, just like the ‘70s had Brutalism and the ‘90s Deconstructivism, today might very well be the age of experimentalism in architecture.” </blockquote> Take a look at the full piece below for more of Kushner’s thoughts on the matter, plus photos of 20 buildings that he believes clue us in on the future of architecture.
