“It seems that me we have to regard everything around us as fictional, as if the world were an enormous novel”
JG Ballard, in The Atrocity Exhibition
Published in Boston (MA) and edited by Ashley Schafer and Amanda Reeser Lawrence, the architecture journal Praxis has launched “True Stories”, an issue devoted to architectural narratives. In the introductory text, the magazine guest editor, Ana Miljacki, notes that “most architects today work on a million different platforms simultaneously – and some even articulate this modus operandi as their project”. In fact, this is somehow Vazio S/A’s agenda, and not by chance the magical realistic story “The Ultimate Skyscraper” (by Vasco Mourão and Carlos Teixeira) was fully published in Praxis.
