It will feature lectures, voice memos, digital animations and speculative graphics among other expression forms by guest contributors willing to challenge the traditional boundaries of architecture, urbanism and design, proposing instead experimental ways to engage with space, materials and communities.
Circle functions as a collaborative online forum: it will provide key information and also offer a platform for exchanging ideas and catalyzing collective participation. It can be freely accessed by everyone on circle.slamjam.com.
