UC Berkeley's graduate architectural journal

Issue 08 - Magic

Existing at the frayed edges and rich margins beyond dominant realities, what is often deemed as ‘magic’ defies logic and offends western enlightened sensibilities. This issue seeks to make visible the rippling effects of magic through collaborative research, interviews, and contributions by students & alumni, activists, artists, and architects. These articles span colonial histories, nomadic dwellings, speculative fiction, special effects, floating universities and more. ✨

As a non-for-profit organization, the journal is made possible by students volunteering their time and labor. All proceeds will directly fund the production of future journals.
