Architects are used to seeing themselves as the ones who set conditions, as the designers of spatial constraints within which certain activities will develop. Issue 40 of Footprint will explore what happens when we start to consider that architects are in turn also conditioned by social, cultural, economi...

We invite works that address the urgency of protest, the intimacy of encounter, the uncontainability of affect, the vulnerability of co-presence, the embodiment of knowing, the fullness of silence, the epistemologies of presence/absence, the layeredness of space-time, or any other exploration of the process of being there, of sharing space, together and apart, across multiple technologies of dis/connection.

Under such conditions, a discussion of political economy in science is timely. Howe...
