Help Us Print Our Journal!
Project Description
WHAT IS KERB?
Kerb Journal is a not-for-profit publication which aims to set the agenda for designers and landscape architects, establishing a platform for new ideas and contemporary design theory. We are seeking to raise $5,000 to fund the printing and publishing costs of our recently completed issue!
"Are we steering in an ‘un-natural’ direction, or taking the evolutionary leap necessary to establish a more integrated mode of co-existence?"
Kerb volume 19 - Paradigms of Nature: Post Natural Futures discusses how the development of bio-technological possibilities will shape the way we design, where the city environment could transform into a dynamic, interactive organism of limitless potential, and considers if this current wild speculation about a future predicting synthetic biological ecologies, trans-natural robotic systems and post-natural organisms will ever be realised, if it is useful in meeting our collective ideals.
CONTRIBUTORS
This issue includes essays, interviews and projects from contributors such as: R&Sie(n), Magnus Larsson, Rachel Armstrong, Koert van Mensvoort, Liam Young, Paisajes Emergentes, Teresa Moller, David Gissen, Daan Roosegaarde, Christian Groothuizen, David Benque, Scape Studio, IWAMOTOSCOTT among others.
WHERE WE ARE AT...
We've just finished the most exciting edition of Kerb yet but are well short of our funding goal needed in order to cover printing costs. We have raised $8000 so far from our generous sponsors but need your help to reach our target. Kerb is run alongside RMIT university, School of Architecture & Design, however we are only partly supported financially by the university.
To do justice to the quality of this edition we are going all out! And as you may know printing on beautiful paper (240 gsm) with spectacular colour ink and an amazing finish does not come cheap! We also want to keep the price of the journal down so that it is affordable for everyone.
THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US:
“Overall this is by far one of the best collections of landscape architecture essays, not just from this year, but ever. And the fact that it came from an educational institution, versus the traditional pathways of journalism should make the current landscape architecture press stand up and take notice. Simple format, graphically rich and diverse, and an accessible cost. This is (is this?) a glimpse towards future of landscape architecture media.”- Landscape + Urbanism
"Kerb...a real collectable - an inspiration board of imagination and fantasy" - Landscape Architecture Australia
Kerb Journal of Landscape Architecture makes for a compelling read!" - Australian Design Review
