Dixit n°04
On process

The fourth issue of the critical journal Dixit in which the voices of architects Jan Kinsbergen and David Klemmer confront each other in the form of a dichotomous visual atlas around the theme of process.

In the image of a discipline that is renewing itself, Caryatide Editions is taking up the torch of the critical review. In this way, they wish to further enrich the debate on architecture by bringing a voice to bear on current events. Architecture is a point of convergence of questioning, a discipline nourished by transversal approaches. As such, like a signature, Caryatide strives to maintain a critical point of view, rich in a social and political perspective from which the architectural discipline stems, in order to bring to light its complexity and its aspirations.

For each issue, three times a year, two contributors are invited to share their thoughts on a new theme.
