For their latest PRAXIS, Eleven Architects/Twelve Conversations, the editors moved away from organizing the issue around a single theme to, instead, focusing on a variety of architectural aspects. The result is a rather cohesive reading, as the different ideas are fused into a continuous conversation. The issue still highlights great projects from the featured architects, yet the projects take more of a supporting role, as the real focus is the conversation that jumps from sustainability to design influences and materials to even the broader implications of design on the built environment.
More about the issue after the break.
Organizationally, the issue pairs the eleven firms twice which creates a “provisional mapping of a shared set of concerns, including the notion of material and or conceptual testing; a questioning of the agency afforded by sustainability; and an interest in the relation of digital processes and design outcome.”
