What About the Digital WAIzine 2?

What About It? Part 2 is Now Available on ISSUU

What About It? Part 2 its now available on the digital publishing platform ISSUU. 

The second issue of the graphic narrative in magazine format created, designed, edited, and written by  WAI Architecture Think Tank includes essays, Manifestos, Projects, Collages and a series of Conversations with: Simona Rota (Madrid); Zhang Ke / standardarchitecture (Beijing); Bernd Upmeyer / MONU   (Rotterdam); and Perry Kulper  (Michigan).

A quixotic blend of graphic and typographic adventure, ambitious content, and original research, the WAIzine assumes the critical role of the intellectual enterprise and exploits the potential of the tools and strategies of the avant-garde, all simultaneously while asking “What About It?”

WAIzine Manifesto:

The WAIzine switches rhythm and pace, focus and aim, strategy and method. It goes from pure research, to retroactive manifesto, to speculative provocation. It is ambitious like architecture should be, especially these days of philosophical uncertainty, intellectual laissez faire, economic restraints, and social deterioration. 

Rejecting the role of mere spectators of the global spectacle that has been set up by previous generations, the new generation of thinkers should be eager to embrace and confront the world with a passion that burns and assume the risk  that comes with being intellectual and being avant-garde; the risks that come with asking “What About It?”
