letter from the editor
Design, in general, is a strange concept to get your head around. It relies on so many abstract components and it’s so difficult to decide objectively if it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’ – or maybe it’s just difficult for me. I have sat with my peers in many sad and uninspiring convention centre back rooms during design fairs, figuring out who did something new this year, who did it better and what innovative design consists of at the moment.

imaginary cities
When a stranger enters the imaginary South African city, the first thing she notices is the differently coloured, pulsating lights that mark the Identity Loops. In this hyper-stratified, constantly evolving society, neighbourhoods are described according to the prevailing identity choice of their inhabitants, and you can flit from one identity to another as the mood takes you. At night, it’s a beautiful sight, and the massive buildings that house the millions of city dwellers throb with colours like a child’s crude toy keyboard. There is no map for the imaginary city, and no guidebook. Our stranger has to navigate in the moment. The imaginary city doesn’t even have a fixed name.
