This 40th issue of Volume magazine is a follow up of ‘Volume 26: Architecture of Peace’ that was released in 2010, to further explore the agency of architecture in post-conflict environments.
It was clear it had only scratched the surface of a tense and complex issue. So with ‘Volume 40. Architecture of Peace Reloaded’ the focus is tightened and zoomed in on the period directly after peacekeeping forces have arrived. The goal: to see what a ‘reconstruction mission’ actually is, how peacekeeping can anticipate its legacy, and how different cultures come with quite different solutions to build or maintain peace. Re-building after war, it would seem, is another battle altogether.
Volume 40. Architecture of Peace Reloadedincludes the catalogue for The Good Cause exhibition at Architektur Museum der TU Munchen, Pinakothek der Moderne.
