Inflection 04: Permanence
Journal of the Melbourne School of Design
About this book
Permanence as an architectural concept is no longer restricted to the Vitruvian virtueof firmitas. To think about it in this sense today produces a schism: absolutism in aworld of relativism. The fourth volume of Inflection extrapolates the permanent andthe temporary not as opposing forces, but as a spectrum to be navigated at each stage of architecture's unfolding narrative. Through each of the responses presented in this year's edition, Permanence provides a critical voice as architecture and design continually seek an enduring foothold in an inherently evolving landscape, physical or otherwise.Inflection is a student-run design journal based at the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne. Born from a desire to stimulate debate and generate ideas, it advocates the discursive voice of students, academics and practitioners. Founded in 2013, Inflection is a home for provocative writing—a place to share ideas and engage with contemporary discourse.
