call for submissions:
reimagine your city magazine
The international design lab reimagine your city launches an open call for the submission of publications.
reimagine your city magazine in collaboration with SHIFT BOOKS aims to explore and rethink global urban issues through different spheres combining architecture, design, urbanism, art, social sciences, activism, and other relevant topics. In the first issue, we would like to rethink public spaces – both practically and theoretically – through the prism of diverse themes, such as war traces that drive sociocultural transformations, migration, land protection, and climate change.
