Javier Arbona, a PhD candidate in geography at UC Berkeley with a background in architecture and urbanism, has written the article "Dangers in the Air: Aerosol Architecture and Invisible Landscapes" for the next issue of Alphabet City: Air.

A shorter version of the text has been published at Places / Design Observer.

The text describes how the air has been a working material for some recent artistic and architectural projects, unfolding some of it´s perceptive and theoretical implications.

In the Air is one of the references.

Congratulations Javier.
