Stream 03 addresses the planet-wide phenomenon of accelerated urbanism that has arisen from globalization. Our era is one of deep mutation. Demographic explosion has led humans to gather in large metropolises, which have become the main places for the resolution of challenges—between the growing consciousness of the environment and the omnipresence of digital technology—with their accompanying search for forms of economic, social and sustainable development.

Internationally-renowned academics, artists, scientists, and thinkers each open up to Stream in the form of lengthy interviews, essays, and portfolios, from a variety of disciplinary fields (philosophy, economy, geography, and sociology, among others) and creative practices, of which contemporary art, design, and experimental architecture are just the beginning. The result is a heightened understanding of the Anthropocene and its implications for both the architecture and the urbanism of tomorrow.

Stream is a multidisciplinary platform for reflection that acts as both a laboratory for PCA agency and a space for exchange. Launched in 2008 by Philippe Chiambaretta, the research is compiled on a bi-yearly basis.
