Code: JAN31 / Take Shape, No. 2 — Commute / Available at www.draw-down.com / Take Shape is a publication driving the streets of architectural, legal, and political thinking. This second issue looks at the subjective and daily experience of transportation—the #commute. At a time when most cities’ public #transportation systems are barely scraping by, billionaires are whimsically proposing hyperloops and #spacetravel. #Take Shape looks at this disconnect, and the ways in which transportation can be improved, outside of the model of entrepreneurial investment, through community-driven planning and increased state funding. This issue includes a collaborative community redesign of a Los Angeles train station by LA-Más; a dialogue between Kafka and airport security by : (colon); a proposal to reinvest in a national rail system by Danya Sherman; and a photographic archive of entrances to #NewYork #subway stations by Robert Prochaska. Edited by #NolanBoomer, Cole Cataneo, and Julia Goodman. Designed and illustrated by #SeanSuchara https://www.instagram.com/p/BtTO93tnTJg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mt13ccugqhjr

Give Me Shelter / Available at www.draw-down.com / A series of illustrated shelters built from rocks, fauna, spirits and random everyday objects by American #designer and #illustrator Sean Suchara. The series is a testament to Suchara's childhood memories of needing to build places to #daydream—secret forts—and to the #imaginary landscapes that a child builds within these special structures. Designed and illustrated by #SeanSuchara. Printed in a first edition of 25 hand-numbered copies

Pollen by Sean Suchara / Available at www.draw-down.com / A collection of collages produced by American #graphicdesigner Sean Suchara from 2016–2017. Inspired by animism, biophilia, and pressed flower books, Suchara has supposed raw and #colorful works that vibrate with a natural energy. Risograph printing brings texture and depth to Suchara's paper and glue creations. Published by #PlatformEditions, 2017 #Risograph #SeanSuchara

Group Effort: A Phenomenological Bibliography / Available at www.draw-down.com / An experimental publication that was initiated as a response to Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Space, wherein #Bachelard sought to draw a line between our relationship to #Architecture through #Poetry in an effort to engender an impulse in readers to seek out the experience of daydreaming the home provides. Group Effort follows Bachelard's thinking, but shifts the attention to the nooks and crannies that books provide for us to daydream. Through a performative combination of collected writings and illustration, Group Effort seeks to create a bibliographic phenomenology in order to strike a conversation with the reader about their relationships to all things, starting specifically, with the object known as the book. Think of the book as a house, the cover a light at the window guiding us to comfort, the words contained within are the furniture, the bibliography and footnotes are the exposed support beams and electrical of the cellar, and images are the corners we daydream into. Oh, and don't forget to wipe your feet on the doormat.
