Open Spaces Magazine

ISSUE 03
In our third issue, we explore the relationship between Architecture and Nature and how architects are increasingly creating spaces which seamlessly blend into their surroundings. Our central piece on Sea Ranch, Northern California, was born out of a 4-day journey in this community and place created in the 70s. We delve into the inspirations of renowned architect Ricardo Bofill, whose buildings were influenced by travels to the Mediterranean, with some exclusive archive photos. We share a personal experience in Costa Rica and visit an indigenous pottery making community in the Chiapas, Mexico. And many other stories and places.

ISSUE 04
Our fourth issue explores the idea of being in transit, through various physical mediums of mobility but also metaphorically, by being in transit in this lifetime. Asia emerges as a central motif across many of our articles: from horseback riding in the grasslands of Mongolia, a multi-sensorial train ride along the Sri Lankan coast, slowing down the pace in Okinawa, Japan to a land art festival in the mountains of Sa Ladakh in India. We swim through an intimate personal essay on the awe of open-water swimming and discuss the intricate relationship between nature, art and technology in an interview with the artist duo Drift.

ISSUE 05
In our fifth issue, we explore the ancient Ayurvedic concept of balance through journeys across diverse landscapes and sacred spaces. We travel to the otherworldly island of Socotra off Yemen's coast, slow down through Japan's 72 microseasons, discover how a tennis coach's philosophy transforms movement into meditation, and step into a hidden Soho temple's sacred rhythm. We also feature a 38-page photographic love letter to New York and sail through Madagascar's waters.
