VOLUME #5: IN THE BOX
Volume is a project by ARCHIS + AMO + C-LAB

If the astounding care with which our best designers can detail the way a strip of glass kisses a slab of stone is applied to thinking about the geometries of power, new roles can emerge, new risks that need to be taken. Naivete is no longer an attractive option. To ignore power is to side with it. READ THE EDITORIAL OF THIS VOLUME >>>


Volume Magazine: POWER IS IN THE DETAILS

'Power is in the Details' zooms in on how seemingly minor details can incubate a new kind of sensitivity to the mechanisms of power. Volume 5 is the first of Volume issues dealing with 'The Architecture of Power', enabling buildings to be seen in a new way in Volume 6, before widening the scope even further in Volume 7 and forthcoming Volume events.


Annex: FROM STATE AS CLIENT TO THE CLIENT STATE

In this supplement we deal with the fate of three states, France, Great Britain and The Netherlands, and their architecture. All three states boast a rich architectural inheritance with cities drenched in historical value and architectonic refinement. No future architect will ever be able to escape their influence. Yet these three states struggle with their imperial legacies as former representatives of the mightiest nations on the planet who once ruled over colonies and oceans.
