polygone n°1Love
Revolutionary Loves
In a world marked by multiple divisions, this second issue of POLYGONE magazine explores the connections between love, architecture, and society through more than 400 pages that bring together text and graphic representation. From fantasy to rupture, the editorial structure sketches the stages of a generic love story, which is up to you to deconstruct, just as the thirty-five contributors from diverse disciplines have challenged dominant norms and projected, through words and images, a more inclusive world.
Six chapters delve into the etymology of the term "POLYGON" and constitute as many unique debates, questioning concepts common to both the practice of architecture and that of love, so that this feeling can finally permeate the making of the city and environment.
Using a diversity of critical formats (interviews, essays, fiction, photographic corpus, illustrations, etc.) and generating layers of self-reflection on the subject studied, this work aims to foster a dialogue between the practice of architecture and urban planning, their representation, and their teaching, through new avenues of thought capable of inspiring real change.
