Lines of design inquiry connect to form a multidirectional network. Continuously and simultaneously, they represent a multiplicity of individual strands that extend and multiply in response to the field of design research and publishing.
A Volume is both a series of objects and an expression of a whole. A Line brings many research narratives together. It can be read continuously or apart. A Volume is a space that projects, amplifies, and disseminates. A Line is a question, a conversation, a response. A Volume is the expansion of a collective design enquiry. It is an opportunity to share research in the wider context of design criticism and publishing. A Line feeds the relay process: the design informs the editorial approach, and vice versa.
The second issue of A Line Which Forms a Volume is a publication and symposium from the London College of Communication. It fosters the interaction between emergent and established research practices and enables the variety of networks originating from the MA Graphic Media Design course.
