ArchitectureWeek Description The authors believe that population growth is beneficial and that expansive megacities are an attractive goal for humanity. They argue in favor of the modularized production of megastructures, which they say will advance the art, science, and processes of manufacturing. They argue that by rapidly super-sizing the built environment, society is made less vulnerable to natural or man-made hazards. Some Related Books...
