Garage Papers 4: Short Texts on Architecture is the fourth issue of Garage Papers, an independent quarterly journal of architectural writing published and printed in Melbourne, collecting three short essays that treat buildings as things worth loving and arguing over.
About This Book
Each issue of Garage Papers gathers three short texts with a simple aim: to teach, discuss and share a love of buildings and architectural history. Issue four brings together Sally Farrah, Aaron Peters of Vokes and Peters, and Esteban Montecinos. Farrah recalls her personal meetings with the architect Enrico Taglietti. Peters argues for planometric projection as a way of thinking slowly about architecture. Montecinos turns to childhood memories of doors and cereal boxes. As with earlier issues, the result is modest in scale and unguarded in tone—architecture discussed on its own terms, outside the conventions of academic and professional publishing.
