Footprint 34 Narrating Shared Future

Footprint 34, ‘Narrating Shared Futures’, is dedicated to a transdisciplinary encounter between literature and cultural heritage. Namely, in this issue we seek to understand how literature can help us unpack complex meanings of places of heritage, and use that knowledge to imagine, design and produce tolerant and inclusive architectures. We focus our discussion around the three notions that appear in the title of the issue – ‘narrating’, ‘shared’ and ‘futures’, investigating how both heritage architecture and literature can offer valuable lessons for imagining better and more inclusive future worlds. Each of the articles featured in this volume contributes to the proposed framing with powerful and global case studies. Put together, they present new ways in which the past, present and future are constantly being made in-the-now through both literary and design techniques.
