Lotus 160 (2016)

In this issue Lotus puts forward the idea of an architectural turn, exemplified by a particular taking of sides in the realm of architecture. The new panorama outlines a plane of signification that aims to reestablish a close relationship between thought and poetic image, declaring its intent to go beyond the merely formalistic trends widespread in architecture or interpretations of the function of architecture circumscribed within the limits of the new dominance of eco-technicism.
