As tools of computation and simulation used by climatologists and planners are becoming more and more sophisticated, urban futures are increasingly uncertain. In this context, the relations between urban and cultural production and the transforming tools and methods for forecasting and simulating the climate reposition the role of architecture and art in envisioning the future.

While it seems futile to oppose simulations with new theories, games offer an alternative: they incorporate simulations, yet in a way that allows players to interact with them, probe their assumptions, and understand their underlying logic.
Within the networks of architectural production, consultants use digital simulations to make the future present.
