Desperate times demand optimistic, transdisciplinary measures. This book unites a select group of thinkers who traverse disciplinary boundaries to tackle a shared problem: the space of technicity. The latter is a consequence of dwelling within and not extending beyond a given domain. Each configuration of surfaces comprising the built environment produces an intangible effect, acting as a quasi-cause. In this examination, technicity is approached from the perspective of axiology – the philosophical study of value. The space of technicity allows us to evade techno-determinism without adopting an anything-goes attitude: design moves beyond mere imagination or reason.
