Tobias Revell puts down his critique on our insistent efforts to render the world legible and presents the hidden powers of imagination as an alternative.

Knowledge of the systems, structures and technologies at play in our own continuous monument is vital for technologists, designers, urbanists, architects and everyone involved.

But what is equally as important is the activation of imagination; imagining beyond the given context to what could be, not just what, as is often presented, inevitably will be.
