VOLUME

🐝 Architecture comes in many shapes and forms! In a free online read from #VOLUME65, contributor Aladin Borioli dives into some incredible examples of beekeeping design: the Bannkörbe. Link: https://lnkd.in/g8ZAsHUP Translated to ‘spellbinding hives’ in English, Bannkörbe are basket hives made of straw, wood, and cow dung that were prevalent in Germany some centuries ago. These hives are distinct due to their incorporation of a wooden mask depicting grotesque and eerie figures as means to ward off the evil eye. Aladin: “From the basic requirements for building a hive, beekeepers turned architects and have built and imagined myriads of designs to house bees. If at first they were directly inspired by bees’ natural habitat, or simply borrowed from it, for example, a cut tree already inhabited by bees, beehives quickly developed into complex machines.” 📸 - Bannkorb.

#VOLUME65: Living Together demonstrates that dwelling patterns act as timestamps for our societies, reflecting crucial global realities. Order your copy here: https://archis.org/shop/ Stephan Petermann, Editor in Chief of VOLUME: “On the one hand, the concept of living has been increasingly under duress—consider the cost-of-living, land possession issues, and housing-related economic crises. On the other hand, living has never been more comfortable. We also see new development models and a renewed interest in social housing, where clients and architects use creativity to develop new collective living forms and address the challenges faced. In other words, there is space for new experiments on the horizon.” #VOLUME65 #VOLUME #livingtogether

Earlier this year, we said goodbye to Ole Bouman along the lengthy corridor of the VOLUME offices. Off on his sturdy-looking bike, our dear former editor-in-chief disappeared into a zenith as he would commence his 10,000km journey to the East the next day. Now, 139 days later, current editor-in-chief Stephan Petermann reconnected with him for a conversation. Ole: “You can stay within your bubble forever and keep imagining other countries and people as dangerous, as extremist – until you go there.” Read the full converstation and see some snapshots from Ole's photo album here: https://lnkd.in/grH7hPzd
