Null Point

[Image: Issue #1 of New Geographies].

The recently launched Harvard journal New Geographies will be celebrating their second issue – which is actually numbered one – and it's about zero.
What happens when architecture, the global economy, and the trade in ideas – when culture itself – hits what the editors called a "zero point," after which everything can be reformatted, begun again, launched in new directions and through entirely new geographies? After all, they suggest, there are zero moments everywhere – Ground Zero, zero carbon, cities from zero, zero-g tourism, and so on.
The new issue specifically explores "possibilities AFTER crises, AFTER mapping, and AFTER signature architectures," we read.
You can find out more on Tuesday, 7 July, at the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York.
