VOLUME #11 Cities Unbuilt
Volume is a project by Archis + AMO + C-LAB + MIT +...

'It seems an eternal distinction: sometimes people build, sometimes they destroy. However, since we have a concept of modernity, we also understand that building is very often based on sheer destruction. It is ‘the price of progress’. A new insight is now emerging: much destruction also has an agenda. It has a precision that reminds us of architecture. It has a formal dimension that reminds us of design. In this issue: explore the sinister creativity of Cities Unbuilt.'

FAST's articles on Lifta will also feature in this issue of Volume magazine, as well as FAST's Maps of Reconstruction and the collaboration work with Partizan Republic and DJ Visser in the South Caucasus.
