To celebrate PORT's fifth anniversary, we've dedicated our 18th issue to family – from features on bloodlines, heirlooms, and familial communities around the world, to exclusive stories by our friends and contributors who have made it all possible.
The PORT family has expanded over the last five years, but the inimitable writer and one of our issue 18 cover stars, Will Self, has been with us from the start. Here, in one of his most revealing interviews, he focuses the witty and critical erudition that has firmly established him in the British literary scene on the ultimate interview subject: himself.
Our second, special-edition cover features one of the world’s greatest living architects, the self-taught, Pritzker Prize-winning Tadao Ando, who granted PORT a rare insight into his Japanese studio, his working practices and the motivations behind his delicate and yet dramatic use of space.
Elsewhere, US photographer Andrew Moore and writer Kyle Chayka explore Arcosanti – the experimental utopian town in Arizona, fifty years after it’s original incarnation by architect and philosopher Paolo Soleri. Back in the UK, we head to the Inner Hebrides in Scotland to shadow an entrepreneurial scallop diver and adventurer as he explores the seabed, handpicking shellfish for London’s top restaurants.
