The future of architecture is a participatory book project, initiated by Crap is Good. The book, consisting of 53 very different takes on the same question – ‘What is the future of architecture?’ The answer can be a text or essay, a single image, a series of photographs, drawings, a short story, it can be symbolic or poetic, rational or fiction but relevant nontheless. Foxtrot submitted a multi answer based on its multidisciplinary approach. Proposal was successful and now part of the 2013 edition !

The London based Foxtrot Collective takes its name from the international maritime signal flag, the definition: “I am disabled; communicate with me.” This reflects a desire to interact with the mind of others who benefit from creating common experience. The collective consists of four local creatives coming from distinct disciplines of urbanism/design/photography/art, who value the types of cross-examined knowledge arising from interdisciplinarity. Our collective built itself spontaneously as we felt the need to individually explore our own field and collectively express something about our environement.
We are always interested in new ideas so please do not hesitate to contact us!
