The relation between fiction and architecture is of an intrinsic nature. Built or unbuilt, since the moment architecture starts to exist, fiction is there, present in the different imaginaries of what a project could be. From the first sensorial manipulations that gave birth to the basis of Occidental architecture to the way we represent it nowadays, before and after it has been built, fiction is always there, hand in hand with architecture.

For this second issue, we ask for visual contributions as explorations of the limits of fiction in architecture. Contributions can only and exclusively be images but we offer total freedom regarding the chosen technique. Carte blanche to photography, collage, digital or analogical drawings as well as mixed techniques. The contributor should build upon an example in architecture, a case study, and expand on the question of how architecture operates with and within fiction and reality. The format of the contribution can consist of a single image as much as a diptych, a triptych, a sequence of images or a matrix of thumbnails, for example. We also encourage contributors to use Issue I – The Text Issue as reference for possible case studies to be explored.
