A Hand to Hold (Physical Copy)
Digital version available in the shop
Our relationships with objects and others are what define us as human and individuals. Each person has an individual network of connections, from the intangible and ephemeral nature of our shared memories, to our senses, which physically root us within our environments. In this issue we want to explore connection across its multitude of forms, its existence within the human condition and as a physical manifestation.
At their most basic, Umarells observe and comment. This one-two punch is what inspired us to begin with, the line we always use introducing ourselves is that we ‘highlight underrepresented architectural ideas’, probably a rather grand summation for what is a confused mix between a magazine and a book, but anyhow, we focus on the connection between built environment and people. A connection which is unnurtured and broken, often taken advantage of to create more divide.
We want to, even on our relatively small scale, repair the disconnect between people and built environment through education. This is why we open up Umarell to everyone, because everyone needs to have a say, not just us.
