Volume/ Archis Nr. 9
Crisis! What Crisis? Suburbia After the Crash
Assistant Editor, 2006

If a crisis is imminent, we need strong policies to cope with it. If the world is facing a crisis of debt, a crisis of truth, a crisis of sprawl and a crisis of purpose, what can design do? This issue of Volume is your survival kit to take responsability and curb the lie that gives a dream to the millions but will be their predicament when they really need a home.

About this issue:
"Two years ago, with extraordinary foresightedness, the Dutch architecture magazine Volume dedicated a whole issue to a probable subprime mortgage crisis and predicted the implosion of the speculative system connected to it, foretelling a not entirely pessimistic future where existenz minimum makes a comeback as a huge subject of design exploration, all the way down to its intimate economic and financial nitty-gritty."
