We're pleased to announce the publication of our sixth issue, Urbanisms: Model Cities, which will be unfurled in installments over the next month or so. Read the introduction. It is the first of two issues devoted to examining our current urban situation and what lies beyond it: the city’s past and its future; the suburban, the exurban, the frontier.
As part of Model Cities, artist José León Cerrillo has made a limited-edition poster, available for purchase here. All proceeds support new commissions for Triple Canopy.
The second Urbanisms issue will include an artist project by Lucy Raven exploring a grand Utahan suburb nurtured by copper-mine tailings; an exposition of a planned mega-eco-city in the desert Southwest by Thomas Moran and Rustam Mehta of the VPL Authority; a new recording from the band Zs; and conversations with architects Teddy Cruz and Kazys Varnelis.
Triple Canopy is a nonprofit and is actively seeking benefactors large and small. Please email us if you're interested in making a contribution.
