VOLUME

This website aspires to be an independent environment with its own
editorial dynamics, beyond a mere extension of the magazine Volume or
the organization Stichting Archis. Start a tour through the site's
unique dynamic archive - more than a decade of Archis content, and of
course the past issues of Volume, has been reorganized in an
associative and narrative structure. Encounter coincidences and
unexpected search results that will widen your scope and refuel your
curiosity for the adventure of ideas in architecture, city and visual
culture. The comprehensive search engine also enables you to search the
Volume / Archis database by content, author or object title and by
theme and issue.

Every two months the website changes its current theme. Check out this
site regularly for the latest developments in our quest for
architecture as a cultural medium.

Participate in regular Volume events, live or on-line. Volume
frequently engages with critical spatial situations worldwide, offering
actions, interaction and suggesting interventions. The Events Space
also offers a forum for discussion and will feature regular debates.
