What can be changed through the twists and tweaks of design, architecture, technology, infrastructure, economics, or daily routines? How can the way we eat, learn, dress, live, and talk be a way to renew ourselves, and so too our society, from the ground up? Given that a different present is almost impossible to imagine and utopia is currently out of reach, this issue looks at the non-heroic ways of doing things differently that can open our minds and make the world better. This issue is all about lifestyle protocols.
