Inflection Journal

Inflection Journal Inflection is a student-edited journal based at the University of Melbourne, focused on gathering and sharing ideas about design and the built environment.

At Inflection we believe in the power of the printed word, the beauty of printed text and the potential of the designed physical object to re-ignite a culture of discourse. Inflection aims to provoke discussion of issues relevant to theory and practice today. It is a platform for dialogue, aimed at promoting a culture within the MSD and emerged from a desire for a medium for student ideas and explorations in printed form. Email us: [email protected]

Minor Details, a photography exhibition by Inflection Journal vol. 13

Please join us Saturday August 8th from 6:30pm, showing for one night only. Panel discussion at 7pm

-

Minor Details orients architectural photography toward occasionally composed moments found in built space.

Elements are composed as found and read as they are, buildings are read as buildings.

Incidental and minor moments
are favoured over heroic, often simplistic representations that reduce architecture to image.

Inflection Volume 13: DETAIL

The architectural detail is a site of pride for architects where practice and theory are expressed; where intent and outcome are most potent.

It is at the level of the detail where designers are simultaneously challenged and comforted. While the visceral precarity of international political and financial realms is felt in increasing detail, our anxieties can be soothed by the fetishization of a favourite space at a certain scale. Inflection vol. 13 explores the potential of detail to understand, alter, and improve the built environment. We invite multidisciplinary contributors to create scholarly insights that explore detail.
