What Are the Most Pressing Issues Affecting Contemporary Life and Future Generations?

Undoubtedly, there are many, from climate change to artificial intelligence. Here we present a comprehensive list of some of the most significant challenges, accompanied by related news and articles.

This list is an attempt to visualise the diverse and complex conditions that architects, artists, and society at large must engage with through their practices, or at least acknowledge and find ways to address. These are the roots of the dialogues we aim to foster with the practices featured in PFAALL.
