From Amazon: Main Street is almost all right, wrote Robert Venturi, promoting the messy vitality of the built environment of the ordinary. The ambiguity of society, its causality and its improvisations meant the acknowledgment of a diversity of practices: top-down interventions + subcultures + minority expressions + subversive acts + Redefining the common goods, their ethics, their aesthetics and their economics start with writing stories of architecture that encapsulate the manifold experiences of the city. Thus, an architectural task in which space design and design of a new collective dream, myth, or scenario about who we are and what we desire to be are interrelated. Volume 19: Is identity the issue? Other:In times of crisis, hope is what we need. And hope is what Volume magazine #19 explores under the title “Architecture of Hope.” Once again, Arjen Oosterman writes a short yet provocative editorial, starting with why they choose only to use black&white images on this issue.
