The fifth issue of the critical journal Dixit, in which the words of the architects Charlotte Truwant, Dries Rodet, Fuminori Nousaku and Mio Tsuneyama confront each other, around the theme of conditions: of society, of life, of architectural practice and uses, etc.
As the self-renewing discipline that is architecture, Caryatide editions picks up the torch of the critical magazine—which was their very first form. They wish to enrich the debate around architecture by bringing a word that confronts to the news. Architecture is at the convergence of questioning, a discipline nourished by cross-disciplinary approaches. As such, as a signature, Caryatide endeavours to keep a critical point of view, enriched by a social and political look which the architectural discipline depends on, to highlight its complexity and aspirations.
For each issue, three times a year, two contributors are invited to share their thoughts on a new theme.
Truwant + Rodet + is an architectural practice founded in 2015 in Basel by Charlotte Truwant (born 1980) and Dries Rodet (born 1982).
Fuminori Nousaku (born 1982) and Mio Tsuneyama (born 1983) are Tokyo-based architects. They engage in critical architectural practice on the theme of contemporary cities and ecosystems.
