‘The Absurd’, a special thematic issue guest edited by Michael Meredith, features Michael Osman on the contradiction written into architecture’s origin, Sylvia Lavin on the spatial efficacy of hoarding, Jacques Rancière on the conundrums of art and life, and Lucia Allais on Superstudio’s ‘Salvages of Italian Historic Centers’ , a 1974 project presented here for the first time in English. Further contorting conventions: Simon Critchley contests the demise of utopia, Sam Jacob praises failure, and Timothy Hyde defines an absurd reality.
