Call for ideas 2017

An architecture built on a deeper understanding of land as a durational and impermanent force.

# Social

Recent events point to a loss in our capability to imagine the mystery and mythology of land and lands. Land – dwelling, navigation and mapping - is perceived as something demarcated. What could come of a reconception of land in relation to guardianship, contemporary mythology, techno-mysticism and psycho-geography? How would this affect our perceptions of the built environment and un-built environment? How could design and architecture aid in finding balance between Land and humanity?

Fictional Journal’s third open call Issue 03. Land investigates diverse and complex issues of ‘land’ as a societal context of design and architecture. Responses will be published on Fictional Journal alongside a series of symposia, events, exhibitions and experiences in 2017.

Fictional Journal is a platform and an online publication for design theory and practice navigating societal contexts of design. In 1–2 issues a year, Fictional Journal opens up a current theme for investigation and action.
