AA Files is the Architectural Association (AA) School of Architecture’s journal of record, currently edited by Maria Shéhérazade Giudici. This issue features eleven contributions that put forward different approaches to architectural research, examining issues from land speculation and class construction to future forms of domesticities and reflections on uprootedness. Throughout, AA Files 80 seeks to unearth past moments of architectural agency to demonstrate that even in times of social and environmental crisis, new spatial imaginaries are possible. With Contributions of Emanuele Coccia; Irina Davidovici; Rebecca Crabtree; Violette de la Selle & Wes Hiatt; Sofia Singler; Alfredo Thiermann, Xavier Nueno & Pedro Correa; Charles Rice; Platon Issaias; Moad Musbahi; Hilary Sample; and Raafat Majzoub.
