We know we are somewhat late to the party with Crumble; an architecture magazine which has scaled new heights from its inception in the Edinburgh College of Art to the bookstands of the Tate Modern. Within the magazine, opinion and conversations are interwoven between students and professionals about place, the future and our place within it.
Crumble isn't a run-of-the-mill, glossy cover, flimsy page publication however, each copy is unique thanks to the Risograph printing process. Coupled with its illustrations, Crumble is a publication to hold on to and be spared the recycling bin- once you reach the last page.
The 'Conflict/ Resolution' issue confronts the following topics:
Northern Ireland’s Peace walls – Nuclear Deterrents – Immigration policies – Decolonising Western Cities – Conservation in Monticello – Heritage in Nigeria – Rwandan Reconciliation – UCU strikes – Building in Bangladore – Japanese samurai tradition – Adventure playgrounds – Homelessness in London – Forensic architecture – Designing for Refugees – Revolution in Portugal – Play and more.
Crumble effortlessly glides through the choppy waters of issues surrounding sustainable development, cultural unrest and political controversy to present down to earth thought and explanation on how, in this world, we respond to change, conflict and resolution.
In Edinburgh, Crumble can be picked up from Blackwell’s, South Bridge, Golden Hare Books, Stockbridge, Crisps Zine Shop, Paradise Palms, Lighthouse – Edinburgh’s Radical Bookshop, West Nicolson St and The Summerhall Shop.
