trans magazin combines an array of positions and voices in architecture, looking beyond traditional architectural discourse towards an expanded practice. trans 38 deals with the term ‘reproduction’ through the idea that our world is constantly being created and we can be part of that process. Reproduction in this sense refers to mechanisms of creating social, institutional, and professional identities and to the mechanisms that replicate them; between original and copy lies a tension. Reproduction is something we encounter in technology, art, biology, sociology, and economics. This issue of trans sketches visions that go beyond mere critique to provide a tool for understanding and shaping the mechanisms and structures around us.
