This idea of continuity and interconnectivity is what catalysed the theme for -ism’s Issue 02; an inspiration of habit, repetition, process and officially: The Cycle.

The amalgamation of this theme with the built environment is apt at a time when we see the recurrence of major political movements, a return to the traditional in defiance of globalisation and most of all, growing debates on architectural longevity and processes in relation to sustainability. Beyond this, -ism simply recognised that responding to the cycle forces us to reflect on the past in concurrence with questioning the present, whilst deliberating the future - in a tone that is not successive.
