The fifth and sixth issue of ABSTRAKT explore the medium beyond a mere communicator of architectural and urban designs. It stands as an integral part of the process of probing architectural realities and speculations. How do we conceive and develop architectural concepts through imaging? How does the medium then aid in situating ideas within a broader social, political, cultural and ecological context?

The fifth issue, ​“Unfolding Visions”, focuses on time-based media and the dimension of duration, while the sixth issue, ​“Artifacts”, examines drawings and physical models as snapshots of the architectural design process. Featuring interviews with experts working in various media, the issues delve into possibilities, limitations, and emerging workflows. Collectively, these insights offer a nuanced comparison across a spectrum of media.
