This issue of Scion magazine is all about space and how to use it. Maximizing it. Adapting to it.
Reacting to it. Reappropriating it. Transforming it. More and more we find that a utilitarian approach
defines how we adjust to the limitations we’re presented with. In this magazine you’ll see all kinds of
creative decisions that can be made out of necessity, and how those decisions can foster even more
creativity. These pages are filled with radical and unrestrained thinking about how to make use of
the space that surrounds us. And if that space is gone, how to dream up some new space of your own.
