Confronted by the challenge of taxonomising a new experience and the deluge of literature addressing travel, this interactive journal aims to offer a guiding 'light' to the memory-hungry. It advocates for methods of recording experiences, emphasizing the use of mobile devices—often unjustly vilified as attention thieves, gaze removers, yet our inexorable appendix.
With a deliberate avoidance of categorization or labeling, this interactive magazine assumes the guise of a cabinet of curiosities. It endeavors to transcend via experiential memory retrieval, seeking longevity beyond mere documentation.
It aspires to metamorphose into a 'website ruin,' an ordinary artifact seemingly insignificant, destined to fade into obscurity. Yet, it holds the potential to be a memory trigger and a bank of spatial remembrance.

The deployment of slim wire-like structures, floating in pendulant equilibrium on buoyant platforms along the Tiber creates a species exchange-system across the Region.
Hydrawire generates an inhabitable, mobile network allowing species to migrate and nurture from different land-scapes when climatic conditions provoke sudden migrations while linking aquatic and terrestrial food webs.

The OPT and its related cruise ship industry have become a symbol of the pandemic spread in Australia, a capitulation to private profit and interest over the public good. Our proposal aims to return this space to the public, ceasing mass tourism activity; re-designing the shoreline and submerging the existing structure of the terminal as a landscape memorial to the pandemic.

Abstract
Last summer, about 10M Hectares burnt in Australia, an erasure phenomena of unimaginable proportions. landscape perspectives shortened to metres, miles-long vistas disappeared, making fog and smoke the only visible matter. A former unfathomable segment of atmosphere- air- transcended it’s invisible threshold becoming, through enormous flammigenitus clouds of smoke, a tangible, traceable element.
It is, for instance, through unhealthy smoke or viral threats such as the COVID-19 that we become air-aware, seeing air as a tangible agent of erasure and reset, a catalyst of change and renewal and equally embodied mass of contagion.
Through environmental and biological crisis ‘air’, usually symbol of life, suddenly becomes life threatening, with masks worn as a second protective skin to oppose external harmful elements. To fight the novel virus, interaction between individuals becomes separated, a space of air acting as protection.
The events this year have also exposed air as an equal share. We’ve learnt air cannot be subjected to control or ownership. In the form of fire or contagious matter, air affects us all regardless of our biological or political credentials.
Our article aims to envision prospects of air-integration and emerging aeolian aesthetics, an attempt to unveil airborne ecologies which may open scenarios for architectural engagement. A jump into the unknown void of Aerography1, an encounter with the apparently invisible structures of atmosphere and the potentials of Air, viewed from smoke and contagion as a gathering2, intensifying force.

Anita Kittner performing in Angelholm in the 30’s embodies cumulative potential.
This live assemblage of both artificial railway -like elements and a vastly diverse landscape synthesize the spirit of a former industrial town. A circus-like ecology, a will to interact with air, openness, hard and soft entiites.
It’s an assemblage; a Topography of memory which is today, flattened by a generic modernization machine running tirelessly for about 100 years.

A tale of Identity neglection emerged from looking at Angelholm’s annual memorial books. Years of intense industrial activity, easily traceable in black and white photos taken at the beginning of the 20th century [starting from the 30’s] revealed an animated working class that lived a vibrant urban life.
It’s common to find pictures of people landscaping and building playgrounds; artists performing in what seemed “live collages” of an utterly diverse ecology as, for instance, Anita Kittner’s performance, jumping from a 30mt trampoline down to a water bucket. The picture from top to bottom, mimics the elements that make angelholm a unique place in between a tense convergence of both artificial and native scapes.
From granular sand to air emptiness, passing through water, tense cords and hard metals, Kittner’s performance in the 30’s, located a human being on top of an arcadian ecology, a stage, a playground. Anita, at the verge just before falling, inspires a scene of accumulated potential.
