BLUE AND OTHER SHAPES 2

"BLUE and other shapes 2" is a book that really makes you think about how we live in cities. As the title implies, the book is the revised and expanded imprint of the original title "BLUE and other shapes" from 2019. The original book certainly met with an enthusiastic response and in this second edition, the text is extended, giving greater depth and more explanation. Many photographs speak for themselves, others don't, and these need a helping hand.

BLUE and other shapes 2《藍和其它形狀 2》是一本能夠讓你我共同思考我們如何在城市中生活的書。正如書名所示 BLUE and other shapes 2 是2019年首刷出版的 BLUE and other shapes 一書修訂再版。由於BLUE and other shapes獲得令人鼓舞的肯定及迴響，因此催生了第二版的發行。第二版的內容增加了兩倍文字說明，為讀者們提供更深入的思考探索。書中的許多照片不言自明，但有些照片抽象的攝影角度及安排或許難以理解，因此，作者在第二版中加入註解，希望對讀者們提供更多思辨及批判的空間。

Since the first edition, the climate debate has intensified, and global temperatures have continued to rise unabated. The pandemic has swept across many different societies such that we ought to see new norms and lifestyle patterns emerging. New generations with new forthcoming technologies can be expected to introduce a new set of lifestyles and awareness rather than the one we have seen the back of. This book is an inspiration to that movement.

自《BLUE and other shapes》第一版發行以來，氣候變遷爭論愈演愈烈，全球氣溫有增無減。大流行已經席捲了世界各國，可以預期擁有即將到來的新技術的新一代人會引入一套新的生活方式和意識。後疫情的新常態絶對不是我們過去習慣的那種。 這本書將會是後疫情新常態運動的靈感來源。
