The third issue of Beyond speaks of historical leanings and intimate fads, private whims and future inclinations. The stories included here recall the life of buildings, readdress the philosophy of fashion, question architecture’s yearning for enduring permanence, and offer outstanding insights into how drifts and crazes influence the perception and foundation of contemporary urban landscapes.

Beyond the academic circle and the ephemera of instant culture, and as against the boredom of all things pseudo, Trends and Fads proposes yet another take on fiction’s ability to prompt a deep, appealing reflection on themes and issues that, shifting as they may be, are still a matter of concern to us all.

Ole Bouman, Martha Cooley, Mockitecture, MOOV & DASS, Oren Safdie, Georg Simmel, Giovanna Borasi, Valéry Didelon, Krunoslav Ivanišin, Kieran Long, Marcosandmarjan, Ines Weizman, Jimenez Lai, Vanessa Liaw.
