Issue Nº1 contains just over 200 pages of inspiring, informative and engaging content curated by The Local Project.

The magazine explores a wonderfully diverse world of design, but uniting each feature is a human-centered approach to design. By which we simply mean, design that looks beyond the immediate moment and toward the broader context of human experience - of place, of history, of materiality and of culture.
