11 / Speed
Fall 2011
The urban conditions around us are constantly changing. With a faster or slower SPEED, the built environment is transformed as it does the way we experience and engage with it. In this issue we will be looking at the pace in which physical and social changes happen and the consequences and opportunities available.

Schnapp, Troy Conrad Therrien and Josef Schulz who is also the guest cover designer.
