Issue 42.1: Materiality
Co-edited by John Parman & Camilla Szabo
Design by Finnegan Schneider
Issue 42.1: Materiality centers around critical discourse on architecture and the built environment, materials and sustainability in relation to a rapidly advancing world, and ephemeral works relating to scent, photography, textile, and sculpture. Themes include tactile engagement with the natural world, craft as a record of time, the role of technology in material understanding, and Indigenous fables on timber, territory & extractivism.
Materiality is a rich, sweeping theme which can’t be contained by one literal definition. It can include the ephemeral—scent, a shadow, an echo... It can be the poetry of architecture, or a photograph which leaves a trace of a history—or obstructs history altogether. It can be a clay vessel casting an incantation, acting as both a transmitter and receiver. Or the discolored patina on a hand painted cabinet after years of wear, each door a slightly different shade than the rest.
