Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Under Tomorrow's Sky is a fictional future city. For the project, speculative architect <bold>Liam Young</bold> assembled a think‐tank of scientists, technologists, futurists, illustrators and science‐fiction authors to collectively develop this imaginary place, the landscapes that surround it and the stories it contains. The city forms a stage set for a collection of fictions, emerging infrastructures and design experiments. It is an imaginary landscape extrapolated from the wonders and possibilities of emerging biological and technological research. Here, speculative fiction provides a critical tool, which is visionary in its trajectory while provoking us to examine some of the most pertinent questions facing us today.</p> </abstract>
