The
first issue #0 aims to initiate the cyclical nature of the project in this initial phase by fostering a process of invited
and openly addressed contributions reflected on a discursive online platform, compiled in a pilot issue of the journal, and
was debated at the launching event in September during the 17th International Architecture Biennale in Venice.
With
regard to the openly declared interests in emerging topicalites and formats, the aim is to intentionally conflate contributions
that address spatial entanglements, dialogues and processes and methods of articulations, without framing any particular subject
or topic. Issue #0 rather aims to open up the field to provide rich material and thought for further exploration in subsequent
issues.
