issue 31 / in-between / summer 2019

in-between | inbe twēn | informal adjective: situated somewhere between two extremes or recognised categories.

From a utilitarian metal box, a building or a garden to whole new suburbs, housing estates, new towns and regions, issue 31 of The Modernist aims to bring together a diverse range of topics.

In-Between presents traditionally less discussed examples that are not necessarily regarded as mainstream modern. Deriving from my own professional background in-between art history, landscape architecture and architecture, the intent of this issue is to broaden the boundaries and discuss topics such as tradition and modernity, city and nature, garden and region, garden city and suburban living, Eastern bloc housing estates, shipping containers and British New Towns as well as contemporary poetry and art.
