It seems an eternal distinction: sometimes people build, sometimes they destroy. However, since we have a concept of modernity, we also understand that building is very often based on sheer destruction. It is ‘the price of progress’. A new insight is now emerging: much destruction also has an agenda. It has a precision that reminds us of architecture. It has a formal dimension that reminds us of design. In this issue: explore the sinister creativity of Cities Unbuilt.

This unique Volume bag was conceptualized by Daniel van der Velden and Maureen Mooren. Though originally conceived as T-shirts, we couldn't resist re-publishing this text now that it is again so actual.
Explore the vast archive of Volume and its predecessor Archis. All the issues since 1993, their covers, full tables of content and a growing amount of articles are online.
