O ur first edition was about 'Loss'\, and presented a range of texts from a fictional exploration of place and \;essays on the abandonment of arch itectural typologies\, to observations on conservation in contemporary bui lding. You can read more about the first issue here\, \;

Folly seeks submissions for its second issue on the theme of 'Cultivate'. To cul tivate is to establish and develop\, to care continuously. To nurture and form\, whether it is for plants or culture. When humans started to cultiva te the land\, the structures they built to store grain were the first arch itectures. Both agriculture and architecture have been intertwined since t he Neolithic Era: cultivated in conversation with each other\, from the my thic origins of architecture&rsquo\;s beginnings\, the agricultural texts of Vitruvius and Varro\, the manicured gardens of country houses\, to indu strialised farming. We invite text and images that speak to this relations hip\, looking at the intimacies between selves and others\, objects and si tes.
