This Volume is a project by ARCHIS + AMO + C-LAB + Design2context
'Main Street is almost all right' wrote Robert Venturi promoting the messy vitality of the built environment of the ordinary. The ambiguity of society, its causality and its improvisations meant the acknowledgement of a diversity of practices: top-down interventions + subcultures + minority expressions + subversive acts + ... Redefining the common goods, their ethics, their aesthetics and their economics start with writing stories of architecture that encapsulate the manifold experiences of the city. Thus, an architectural task in which space design and design of a new collective dream, myth or scenario about who we are and what we desire to be is interrelated. Volume 19: Is identity the issue?

Al Manakh 2 | Volume recently launced the Al Manakh website, that is a blog that will function as a research tool for the upcoming Al Manakh 2 (expected early 2010), the follow up of Al Manakh 1. Al Manakh 2 will chart how cities like Abu Dhabi, Doha and Dubai are responding to the global economic crisis as a means to continue holding their stake in a global context. These cities are at once challenged to confront their usual patterns of development and forced to produce revised responses to changing economic and social forces.Over the course of a year the site will work as an aggregator, collecting news from this region with the use of social networking tools (like delicious.com). From this extensive inventory trends and themes will emerge over the year that will result in editorial frames for the publication.

Detroit | |||
| Detroit is getting a fair share of attention lately, and not only by Obama automotive industry rescue efforts. In February Archis visited Warren, one of the troubled sub-urbs of Detroit and recently two editors from Volume travelled to Detroit under the umbrella of the Detroit Unreal Estate Agency. Those how are thinking about how to think beyond the crisis, and what new practices are fruitful in its wake, turn to Detroit. Hyped perhaps as a kind of new Berlin, but also a city which has already learnt to live with a reality that is now emerging in more and more places in the US and around the globe. Volume will keep its ear to the ground to listen in to what's coming from the motor city. | ||||
