Sociotype Journal – Issue 03: Home

Sociotype Journal is a new platform for thoughts on culture and society, that also happens to be a type specimen.

In this issue:
Welcome to our third issue of Sociotype Journal, the specimen for anyone who likes to read while looking at type. Our theme this time round is Home. What makes a home? Or a home away from home? And how does power (or the lack of it) change the concept and the reality of what ‘home’ means? Join us for a top-down and bottom-up tour of domesticity, from geometrically pristine masterplanned utopias, to an altogether more DIY approach: unplanned and off-grid, into the margins, into ruin, and into hiding in plain sight. We’ll look at Potemkin villages and replica cities, McMansions and sham castles, cube farms and hot desks; spite fences, coffin homes, hippie communes, suburban malls, Cold War-era radar stations and more.
