Lo–Res, pilot issue High–Rise, architectural theory journal, ResArc the Swedish National School of Architectural Research, 2015
Published in Sweden, but produced in Melbourne. Lo–Res is an international architectural theory journal aiming to eschew the slick, the finished, and the verified in favour of the tangential, the speculative, and the fuzzy. Lo–Res publishes essays on architecture that resonates at lower resolutions.
This pilot issue grouped texts around the theme of J. G. Ballard’s 1975 dystopian novel High-Rise. The text design and setting reflects the denseness and looming rythym of tower blocks. Lo-fi Google map glitches feature on the section openers from the archive of Tor Lindstrand.
