with a welcome by Maja Ozvaldic
The fifth and sixth issue of ABSTRAKT explore the medium beyond a mere communicator
of architectural and urban designs. It stands as an integral part of the process of probing architectural realities and speculations.
How do we conceive and develop architectural concepts through imaging? How does the medium then aid in situating ideas within
a broader social, political, cultural and ecological context?
The fifth issue, “Unfolding Visions”, focuses on time-based
media and the dimension of duration, while the sixth issue, “Artifacts”, examines drawings and physical models as snapshots
of the architectural design process. Featuring interviews with experts working in various media, the issues delve into
possibilities, limitations, and emerging workflows. Collectively, these insights offer a nuanced comparison across a spectrum
of media.
To mark the completion of this body of work, the exhibition will be launched with a panel discussion, presenting
an opportunity to further emphasize and explore the similarities and differences in design practices distinguished by the
use of different media. Panellists Uwe Brunner, Sam Jacob, and Olivier Pron will share their insights on the role of medium
in a creative practice, as well as reflect on a selection of key topics that have emerged from within the pages of the magazine.
