Typical coverage of our urban environment will usually focus on the norm, whether that be driven by majority or economic reasons. In this issue we want to voice ideas that would not be given the same platform elsewhere, we want to highlight the strength and beauty of unconventional approaches to places. Your project or article could be about alternative ways of living, squatting, shared communal housing, it could be about wider cultural movements that you feel aren’t receiving the attention deserved by them.

Home is an innately human concept, a place to belong and to feel safe is how we responded to the brief but the individual responses we can see paint a far wider picture of our own nature than we ever could have imagined.

The theme of Home was chosen by us as we believe it brings to light the wide variety of experiences, we all
have throughout our lives. Whether you consider home a static moment or more of an ephemeral concept, the definition of home will alter between individuals on small and large scales, however, we hope you all can find something relatable or provocative within this issue.

This issue focuses on the theme of protest within architecture. Protest and political action are constantly at the centre of our architectural practice, whether that be on the side of help or hindrance and even whether we intend it to be or not. The practice of designing space is innately political and small choices can have monumental impacts on the population. In this way we are a very powerful profession, but it stands with us to utilise this influence in an effective manner. It is imperative that we organise to challenge those in positions of power to create more equitable spaces that work not only for a capitalist ruling class and regain autonomy over our cities.
