4057 wants to be part of the a revolution within communication, computation and technological progress that architecture has witnessed in the last years. 4057 wants to contribute to the debate on how our cities can become adaptive and how to overcome the static role architecture plays in the current urban infrastructure. We do not believe that the transformation of the city can be a goal achieved by only one way, or one project. This task belongs to the new generation of architects, researchers and designers, the ones that will approach architecture as an infrastructure and technology as culture, that will doubt the status quo in architecture and will try to conceptualise and realise the architecture of the future.
Because architecture can only exist by adapting to the cultural changes that take place in our world, either technological, ecological or social, thus being efficient in co-constructing solutions for the society and its people.
