For Pillar or For Worse

phrase

Architecture is all around us, so much so that we all have our own personal landmarks etched in our memory. From an ordinary glass-box office building you pass on a day-to-day basis, to a small, locally owned café you’ve visited more times than you can count. Therefore, architecture can mean many things to many different people, and in this edition, we will explore these feelings and sentiments.

Digital Detox

phrase

With January comes New Year’s Resolutions – to work out more, to eat more healthily, to read more – it’s always about doing more. It also doesn’t help that December is a period of festivity, and January leads to struggles with getting back into routine. It’s now February, and the Green & Gilded Team took some time off, but we’re back to building healthy habits. We would like your piece to reflect moments of resetting and connecting with people – to be off your devices and remind yourselves of the little things in life.

Rewriting the Canon

phrase

In the first-year English course, we have a lecture dedicated to canoncity, which prompts students to think about why we simultaneously criticise the canon of classics and why we continue to preserve it. There is no “correct” answer; however, this edition explores topics related to the canon, classics, as well as defying and diversifying the classification of literature within the canon.
