Issue No. 26 Obsessions: The Accent of Things

In issue 26, the authors trace the accents objects carry, and the new voices they acquire as they travel, cross borders and become part of our lives. In France, Jörg Koziol brings distant traditions and techniques together. In Belgium, Bea Mombaers gathers objects from everywhere, letting them speak beyond their origins. In China, a kilometer up the slope behind Beijing’s Tanzhe Temple, Hotel Xitan gives new significance to the idea of community on a secluded hillside. And, in Mexico, Mauricio Rocha gives voice to his own architectural language through Casa Moro.
