Christo Sims’s book project examines how corporations, cities, and states are materially reconfiguring themselves in response to climate catastrophe. Taking Silicon Valley as a case study, the project focuses on how the technology sector is embracing avant-garde architecture in response to growing concerns about climate change, traffic, and a dearth of affordable housing.
