The architect’s bubble
Architecture and design have a long legacy of operating from inside their respective bubbles: reinforcing their own aesthetics, logic, networks and vocabulary with the effect of becoming self-referential and exclusive. These bubbles shape who architects collaborate with, how projects take form, and ultimately, who benefits from spatial production.
A series of 13 conversations
Marking the occasion of Volume’s contribution to the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale curated by Carlo Ratti, Volume 68 hosted 13 conversations in which architects and designers meet inspiring figures outside of their bubble to find points of engagement and exchange notes on professional practices. The issue includes illustrations by Michelle Mildenberg and is materialized by Irma Boom Office. Stephan Petermann is editor in chief of Volume, María Mazzanti is managing editor.
Volume 68 features contributions by Andrea González, Ethel Baraona Pohl, Gabriel Fontana, Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, Juana Salcedo, Julia Minson, Netherlands Angry Architects, Paul Cournet, Rem Koolhaas, Rimini Protokoll, WAI Think Tank, Ludwig Engel, David Zilber, Silvia Dal Dosso, Andy Piper, Pelin Tan, Sjeng Scheijen, Daniela Maldonado Salamanca, Peter van Assche, Hanno Pijl, Félix “Tito” Trinidad, Roger Bernat, Olivier Létang, Céline Zimmer, Paulette Lenert and Evgeny Morozov.
