Five second-hand magazines in a very good condition. Issue 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
I never opened these magazines. These magazines are in perfect condition.
The plastic case of Issue 3 is cracked on the lower right corner. Please, see picture.
The plastic case of Issue 5 is broken on the lower right corner and cracked on the upper right corner. Please, see picture.

The magazines will be packed with great care, nonetheless, I cannot assure that the plastic cases will come with no broken pieces. The plastic cases are fragile.

Description of all five issues below :

Volume 1: Beyond
The first issue of Volume is a tour d'horizon of the new possibilities of architecture beyond itself. There is a growing awareness of a potential that may ultimately challenge the very character of architecture as we know it. For some this means anxiety or even pessimism about a profession in deep trouble; the aim of Volume, however, is to face this challenge with the confidence and intellectual curiosity needed to explore the implications for architectural intelligence.

Volume 2: Doing (Almost) Nothing
Can we do something by doing (almost) nothing? Can we achieve anything by doing too much? Can we do what we need to do, by doing just what is needed? How do we define doing too much, too little? How to think through doing anyway? The box contains 4 elements to examine these questions: Volume magazine, an A1 poster, a research paper on ‘Unknown urbanity in China’ and a deck of cards cum essay.
1. Volume #2 magazine
– Ilka & Andreas Ruby gathered 14 projects where the designer did as little as he/she could (or was allowed to)
– Too many architects make too much architecture; a conversation with the late Giancarlo De Carlo
– C-LAB explores Asphalt, Champagne, Dust, Shifting Meaning and the History of Quantity
– Sam Jacob interviews Lou Reed on his performance in Casa da Musica
– Thomas Daniell reviews a Japanese garden walk composed by Laurie Anderson.
2. A1 Poster: The AMO Bulletin and the Oil & Gas & the World Map: with Brendan McGetrick, Mendel Robbers, Todd Reisz.
3. Research Paper: Urbanism of Victims. Unknown urbanity in China – Village within the City: results of a research studio at the Berlage Institute. Text by Yushi Uehara and introduction by Arjen Oosterman.
4. Deck of cards: Devant moi, le déluge. A deck of cards with images taken from the cultural history of The Flood, each one complemented with a text. On the occasion of and in collaboration with the 2nd International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. With an essay by Carlos Betancourth and introduction by Ole Bouman.

Volume 3: Broadcasting Architecture
Architecture presupposes inhabitants. Literature depends on readers. Art requires the viewer. Music demands listeners. But beyond these truths, culture today must touch a general audience to maintain its legitimacy. Make yourself heard or perish! This issue of Volume provides you with the tools you need to understand your failures and the strategies you require to succeed. In this 3rd issue of Volume the box contains Volume magazine and an ‘Extra Edition! Read all about it!’ newspaper brought to you by C-LAB. Of course there is another AMO Bulletin. Finally, the long awaited interactive documentary ‘On the Borderline’ on CD-ROM, based on the past nine Archis RSVP events.

Volume 4: Break Through
The isolation of the self; the sacrosanct object; the solitude of 'outstanding' architecture. Are these signs of a moribund culture? If so, where did our vitality go? Can we find it in other domains? Can we re-animate, re-infuse ourselves with energy? Read how reality seeps through our unassailable myths and penetrates our splendid isolation.
In this issue:
A. Shareware!, a portable exhibition of ideas to break in, break out, and break through architecture as we know it. With Artgineering, Elena Simons, Fat, Guerilla Girls, Jeanne van Heeswijk, Manifesta, Superflex, Volume.
B. Volume Magazine with the catalogue to the Shareware exhibition, including work of Alicia Framis, American Indian Housing Initiative, Blackspot, Cittadellarte, Crimson, Easa, Exzyst, Habitat for Humanity, Herman Hertzberger, Jeremy Gilley, Kees Grootenboer, Laphrog, Log, Matt, Skim.com, Stadsschouwburg Hai + Emiliano Gandolfi , Actar Arquitectura, Atelier Bow-wow, Chora, ON/Osservatorio Nomade.

Volume 5: The Architecture of Power, Part 1
The first part of 'Architecture of Power,', 'Power is in the Details', zooms in on how seemingly minor details can incubate a new kind of sensitivity to the mechanics of power. Volume #5 is the first issue of a series of Volume issues dealing with ‘The Architecture of Power’, enabling buildings to be seen in a new way in Volume 6, before widening the scope even further in Volume 7 and forthcoming Volume events.
In the supplement we deal with the fate of three states, France, Great Britain and The Netherlands, and their architecture. All three states boast a rich architectural inheritance with cities drenched in historical value and architectonic refinement. No future architect will ever be able to escape their influence. Yet these three states struggle with their imperial legacies as former representatives of the mightiest nations on the planet who once ruled over colonies and oceans.
