Editors note

Welcome to Issue two of EDGEcondition, ‘presenting architecture’. Our first issue was an overwhelming success, reaching over ten thousand readers - thank you all that contributed and read the publication that made it that success. 

Our take on presenting architecture is a wide horizon of all that can be said to communicate architecture. This is not (just) about having a good conference stage presence, or knowing how to work a pitch, or having the best looking boards and buildings models out there. It is about a wider dialogue, one that isn’t one-sided and one that is fluid. 
It’s about what we say to others, implicitly, explicitly or without even knowing, about what we do and the why and the how we do it? It’s not just about the visuals of the work, but about the positioning signals we give to others within and without the sector; the words we use or don’t, the images we chose or don’t, and of how these work together to communicate the stance that we take. 
Thus, in this issue you’ll find articles on architecture and prose and poetry; in film; in the studio and galleries spaces; in archive’s; and in magazines. These look at communication in the sector from a tangential and oblique perspective, such is the concern of EDGEcondition; but the ways of communicating directly through the verbal, non-verbal and visual is of course included too but from those that offer a distinctive perspective. 

EDGEcondition is curating this year’s Free Range pecha kucha, on the theme of ‘re-appropriate’ and a feature on our impressive group of practitioners from art and architecture is also included in this issue.

EDGECondition next issue, ‘art and architecture’ is out at the end of September with a similar wide interpretation of the theme. If you would like to contribute to this issue or comment on any of the topics in issues one and two, please contact the editors via [email protected].
