Árið er 2150. Við erum stödd í framtíðarsamfélagi þar sem okkur hefur tekist að beisla hraunrennsli, eins og okkur tókst með gufuaflið á 20. öld. Með framsæknum lausnum nýtum við hraun sem byggingarefni og umbreytum staðbundinni ógn í auðlind. Þetta er í stuttu máli grunnhugmyndin að Hraunmyndunum, framlagi Íslands á Feneyjatvíæringnum í arkitektúr, sem opnar um helgina. Arkitektastofan s.ap arkitektar, þverfagleg rannsóknarstofa með áherslu á tilgátuverkefni framtíðarinnar, eru höfundar Hraunmyndanna.

Why is it so hard to talk about climate change in a way that actually makes us... feel something?

This short story, written by Andri Snær Magnason for our third print edition, follows an architect in Reykjavík grappling with the growing discord between his creativity and a capitalist reality. Laying bare the ways narratives of control and human supremacy can manifest in the physical objects we make, “Giantstone” asks us to consider what new stories could begin to shape our inner and outer worlds. Will we remain stuck in our humancentric philosophies, or will our art come to reflect a way of life that keeps and cares for the Earth? Read the short story.

The warming of the planet is ushering in changes on a mythological scale. Oceans heat up, ice shelves melt, great floods swallow landscapes, ancient forests are reduced to ash. In this interview from our archive, Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason speaks about how such incomprehensible changes are accelerating geological timescales. Instead of playing out over millennia, vast transformations of the Earth are now happening in the span of a lifetime, and in rapid succession. An accompaniment to The Last Ice Age—the third film in our Shifting Landscapes film series—this conversation with Andri explores how we can shift our sense of time to comprehend an uncertain future with greater clarity. Drawing on poetry, memories, stories from his grandparents, and language that infuses meaning into the data-led narrative of the climate crisis, Andri turns to the power of mythology to help us comprehend both the loss and possibility of our moment.

The Hearing Architecture podcast proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. In this episode, we hear from Andri Snær Magnason. He is not our usual podcast guest as he is not a formally trained architect, yet he has worked alongside them, written for and about them, and comes from a lineage of family involved in the environment, whether built or natural. I thought that my conversation with Andri would be a good starting point for the publication of my research because he deals with words and facts in a way that we as humans can relate. His books, projects, presentations, and advocacy all try to convince us of one thing: We need to start connecting to future in an intimate and urgent way. Today's discussion focuses less on architecture, and more on our environment as a setting for our future and how and why we care about it. Andri is a Reykjavik-based Icelandic writer and documentary filmmaker, who navigates the realms of environmental activism, architecture, visual art, music, film, and theatre. He ran in the 2016 Icelandic presidential election, where he passionately advocated on environmental issues. His literary portfolio spans novels, poetry, essays, theatre and children's books, performed and published across more than 40 countries. His 2019 National bestseller, "On Time and Water," delves poetically into the alarming realities of environmental change, approaching the subject as if a shared tale at the dinner table.  Time, particularly in the context of climate change, is a recurrent theme in his work, and he offers an intimate perspective that resonates amidst the overwhelming facts and figures. In our conversation, Andri emphasizes the challenge of connecting people to a future that seems beyond imagination, stressing the need for a more personal understanding of time as a dimension in the face of global changes.  I spoke with Andri back in his office in Reykjavik in August 23, after I had just returned from a hike in the highlands of Iceland to view the now declassified OK glacier, and Andri's commemorative plaque which we discuss in our recording. Our interview explores the power of language and its ability to collapse these wide expanses of time into something we can feel, touch and get close to emotionally. It was a joy to speak about these topics in which architecture slots itself within. Energy, resources, materials, landscape, and time. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, and made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation.  Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Andri Snaer Magnason for your discussion, your stories and your myths. We join you in the goal of making the future feel intimate, relevant, and in realising the interconnectedness of individuals and loved ones across the unfolding timeline we exist in.

V následujících sto letech se podoba téměř všeho vodstva na planetě zásadně promění. Změny, kterých můžeme být svědky po dobu jednoho lidského života, jsou větší než ty, které se udály v posledních 50 milionech let. Přesto se zdá, že jsme vůči zprávám o klimatických změnách imunní. Spisovatel Andri Magnason to vysvětluje limity jazyka, kterým o nich hovoříme, i schopnosti vnímat procesy odehrávající se kolem nás v čase. Vědecká data jsou příliš abstraktní a predikce se zdají vzdálené. Jediný způsob, jak je předat veřejnosti, jsou podle něj příběhy. Jaké příběhy si potřebujeme vyprávět?

"When I was writing On Time and Water somebody said this is not just one book. This is about your grandmother, about glaciers. You have to focus. You can't have this mythology and glacial and ocean sites, speculations about words like ocean acidification, and your grandfather's sister who is visiting Tolstoy. You have to focus. You can't put all this into a book. And then I thought, oh yes, I forgot my favorite uncle, who was the researcher of crocodiles. I also have to put him into the book. And when I put the crocodile's story into the book, it was like a keystone. Everything fell into a whole picture.Because we live in democratic societies and literature is an art of entertainment.

"If you look at the Himalayas, the frozen glaciers are feeding 1 billion people with milky white water. The real tragedy is if the Himalayan glaciers go the same way as Iceland. In many places in the world, glaciers are very important for agriculture and the basic water supply of people. So that's where I go into mythology in On Time and Water because in Nordic mythology, the world started with a cow, a frozen cow made of frost and snow. And it never made sense to me. But if you look at the Himalayas, how these frozen glaciers are feeding 1 billion people with milky white water that is better than normal water, then it makes total sense.

You can't put all this into a book. And then I thought, oh yes, I forgot my favorite uncle, who was the researcher of crocodiles. I also have to put him into the book. And when I put the crocodile's story into the book, it was like a keystone. Everything fell into a whole picture.Because we live in democratic societies and literature is an art of entertainment. People want to continue reading books, and it's based on instant ways of storytelling. Of course, it's strange to live in a society where we have to entertain ourselves to understand the most important issue in the world."www.andrimagnason.comwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

"If you look at the Himalayas, the frozen glaciers are feeding 1 billion people with milky white water. The real tragedy is if the Himalayan glaciers go the same way as Iceland. In many places in the world, glaciers are very important for agriculture and the basic water supply of people. So that's where I go into mythology in On Time and Water because in Nordic mythology, the world started with a cow, a frozen cow made of frost and snow. And it never made sense to me. But if you look at the Himalayas, how these frozen glaciers are feeding 1 billion people with milky white water that is better than normal water, then it makes total sense. Of course, the frozen cow - it's a glacier."Andri Snær Magnason is an award winning author of On Time and Water, The Casket of Time, LoveStar, Dreamland and The Story of the Blue Planet.

Dacă scriitorii nu preiau informațiile brute despre schimbările climatice de la oamenii de știință și nu le prezintă într-un mod ușor de înțeles pentru public, atunci „lumea se va sfârși”, i-a spus un cercetător autorului Andri Snær Magnason. Pentru că „oamenii nu înțeleg numere și grafice, dar înțeleg imediat poveștile”. Așa că Maganson a scris în cartea Despre timp și apă o poveste cu perspectiva unică a cuiva care trăiește într-o țară acoperită în proporție de 11% de ghețari, Islanda. Despre această perspectivă, dar și despre cum includem natura în modelele noastre economice, povestește Dragoș la Vocea Nației. ___ În episodul 179 din podcastul Vocea Nației: - Generația actuală de scriitori sufocă natura în termeni economici. - Ghețarii sunt „manuscrise înghețate care spun povești”, exact așa cum sunt inelele din trunchiurile copacilor sau depozitele sedimentare. - Ar trebui să atribuim un preț naturii? - În ce termeni ar trebui să discutăm despre viitorul ecosistemelor? În termeni economici sau emoționali? - Cum să exprimăm îngrijorarea? Împrumutând termeni din sfera științifică sau din cea emoțională? Din sfera religiilor sau a statisticilor? - Cum îți iei rămas bun de la un ghețar? ___ Cărți menționate: - Despre timp și apă, Andri Snær Magnason - The Good Ancestor, Roman Krznaric - Mission Economy, Mariana Mazzucato ___ Efectele topirii ghețarilor.

Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages My first job out of university was with a company that specialized in innovation. It was there that I really began to understand how creativity flourishes when there are restraints. We were once hired by Kellogg's to help do something new for Corn Flakes, but weren't allowed to change the product, packaging, or marketing. I remember realizing that I needed to figure out the rules in order to decide which ones needed to be broken.  Whatever your situation, there's liberation in understanding what rules need to be followed, and which ones can be played with.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The sense of a start, published by Gavin on September 28, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Some attempts to feel the size of the future: ChronoZoom: [woosh] Will Macaskill: Imagine living, in order of birth, through the life of every human being who has ever lived... Your life lasts for almost four trillion years in total. For a tenth of that time, you're a hunter-gatherer, and for 60 percent you're an agriculturalist. You spend a full 20 percent of your life raising children, a further 20 percent farming, and almost 2 percent taking part in religious rituals. For over 1 percent of your life you are afflicted with malaria or smallpox. You spend 1.5 billion years having sex and 250 million giving birth. You drink forty-four trillion cups of coffee. As a colonizer, you invade new lands; as the colonized, you suffer your lands taken from you. You feel the rage of the abuser and the pain of the abused. For about 10 percent of your life you are a slaveholder; for about the same length of time, you are enslaved. But now imagine that you live all future lives, too. Your life, we hope, would be just beginning. Even if humanity lasts only as long as the typical mammalian species (one million years), and even if the world population falls to a tenth of its current size, 99.5 percent of your life would still be ahead of you. On the scale of a typical human life, you in the present would be just five months old. And if humanity survived longer than a typical mammalian species—for the hundreds of millions of years remaining until the earth is no longer habitable, or the tens of trillions remaining until the last stars burn out — your four trillion years of life would be like the first blinking seconds out of the womb. Carl Sagan: If history were a football field, all of human history would occupy an area the size of my hand. Bryan Magee: There are always some human beings who live to be a hundred. More do so today than ever before, but there have always been some... It comes as a shock to realise that the whole of civilisation has occurred within the successive lifetimes of sixty people -- which is the number of friends I squeeze into my living room when I have a drinks party. Twenty people take us back to Jesus, twenty-one to Julius Caesar. Samuel Arbesman: "Me (b. 1981) Harold C. Urey, American chemist, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1893) Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, U.S. Supreme Court justice (b. 1825) William Waldegrave, 1st Baron Radstock, Governor of Newfoundland (b. 1753) George Berkeley, Irish philosopher (b. 1685) King Charles II of England, Scotland and Ireland (b. 1630) Johannes Kepler, German astronomer (b. 1571) Shimazu Takahisa, Japanese samurai and warlord (b. 1514) Donato Bramante, Italian architect (b. 1444) Leonardo Bruni, Italian humanist (b. 1374) Petrarch, Italian poet (b. 1304) Emperor Go-Fukakusa of Japan (b. 1243) Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent (b. circa 1160) Eric Jedvardsson, king of Sweden since 1156 (b. c. 1120) Gerard Thom (The Blessed Gerard), founder of the Knights Hospitaller (b. c. 1040) King Duncan I of Scotland (b. 1001)" Andri Snær Magnason: 262 years. That's the length of time you connect across. You'll know the people who span this time. Your time is the time of the people you know and love, the time that molds you, and your time is the time of the people you will know and love, the time that you will shape. You can touch 262 years with your bare hands. Your great grandma taught you, you will teach your great granddaughter, you can have a direct impact on the future right up to the year 2186.

In our final installment on the theme of Ashes from Chapter Two of Living with the Unknown, we enter a fictional world dominated by the monotony and tireless momentum of greed. In this short story from Icelandic author Andri Snær Magnason, time expands and collapses as an architect in Reykjavíik struggles against the soulless design of urban landscapes in the Anthropocene. Emergence Magazine, Vol 3: Living with the Unknown explores what living in an apocalyptic reality looks like through four themes: Initiation, Ashes, Roots, and Futures. Every two months we'll release a new chapter online. Experience “Chapter Two: Ashes.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Veitinga- og kaffistaðurinn Sumarlína á Fáskrúðsfirði hefur notið talsverðra vinsælda síðan hann var opnaður þar fyrir sextán árum. Sumarlína hefur hins vegar verið í sölu um tveggja ára skeið. Við ætlum að ræða við Óðinn Magnason, eiganda og vert. Við þekkjum það nú eflaust flest að grípa til afsökunarinnar "ég er svo ómannglögg" þegar við þekkjum ekki einhvern í kjörbúðinni sem við eigum sannarlega að kannast við. Sú afsökun er nú varla gild nema fyrir um 2% okkar sem þjást af svokallaðri andlitsblindu. Nú ætlar Sálfræðideild Háskóla Íslands að ráðast í rannsókn á þessu fyrirbæri þar sem markmiðið er að skilja hvers vegna sumir eiga auðvelt með að þekkja fólk á förnum vegi en aðrir geti varla gert greinar mun á andlitum ömmu síns og afa. Heiða María Sigurðardóttir doktor í taugavísindum var gestur okkar. Málþing Siðfræðistofnunar um dánaraðstoð fer fram á næstu dögum en þar er fyrirhugað að kynna niðurstöður nýrrar rannsóknar á viðhorfum íslenskra lækna til dánaraðstoðar. Við ræddum við Svan Sigurbjörnsson, lækni og MA í hagnýtri siðfræði. Við hér í Morgunútvarpinu höfum síðustu mánudaga fjallað um málefni sem tengjast sveitarstjórnarkosningunum 14. maí. Í þetta skiptið ræddum við við Auði Önnu Magnúsdóttur, framkvæmdastjóra Landverndar, um umhverfismál og landvernd. Systkinin sem stíga á stokk fyrir hönd okkar Íslendinga í Eurovision eiga skammt eftir í undirbúningi fyrir keppnina. Við hringdum suður til Torino í Felix Bergsson fararstjóra íslenska hópsins. Já og svo fórum við yfir íþróttir helgarinnar með Helgu Margréti Höskuldsdóttur íþróttafréttakonu, eins og alla mánudaga. Tónlist: GDRN - Vorið Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love Arlo Parks - Caroline Lily Allen - LDN Teitur Magnússon - Vinur vina minna Beyonce - Crazy in Love Sigga, Beta og Elín - Með hækkandi sól Björk - Bella Símamær
