We're pleased to announce the conclusion of our sixth issue, Urbanisms: Model Cities.

As part of Model Cities, artist José León Cerrillo has made a limited-edition poster, available for purchase here. All proceeds support new commissions for Triple Canopy.

Issue 7 will be published next month and will continue the examination of our current urban situation and what lies beyond it: the city’s past and its future; the suburban, the exurban, the frontier. It will include an artist project by Lucy Raven exploring a grand Utahan suburb nurtured by coal-mine tailings; an exposition of a planned mega-eco-city in the desert Southwest by Thomas Moran and Rustam Mehta of the VPL Authority; a new recording from the band Zs; and conversations with architects Teddy Cruz and Kazys Varnelis and between architect Rene Peralta and writer Bryan Finoki.

Triple Canopy is a nonprofit and is actively seeking benefactors large and small. Please email us if you're interested in making a contribution.
