From the Epic of Gilgamesh to the IKEA catalogue, every act of publishing is rooted in a will to convey a specific message in order to consequently promote a certain behaviour. Publishing is thus an intrinsically political act. 

The fifth volume engages in a discussion with a group of publishers about their intentions and perception of their publications within the discipline of architecture.

Beyond the positively overwhelming availability of content made possible by web publishing, the digital turn brought with it new ways of approaching print, periodicity, archiving and content production. 

In the Volume 4 of Publishing in Architecture, we will look into the choices of a group of different magazines regarding the relations between their formats, content, goals, audiences and their specific approaches to the production of printed issues.

Das Publizieren dient in der Architektur seit jeher nicht nur als Kommunikationsmittel, sondern stets auch ihrer Neuerfindung. Es ist so gesehen ein architektonisches Medium. Der Theoretiker Mark Wigley stellt anhand historischer Beispiele die Rolle des Publizierens für die Disziplin vor.

Each building is the embodiment of a set of possibilities, conditions and intentions. A building contains information regarding not only itself, but also its context and its society. One could say that building is, from this perspective, an act of publishing.

The students of the 2nd semester from HGK Visual Communication designed a series of posters and short movies based on the buildings selected by the symposium participants.

The inaugural volume of Publishing in Architecture explands on the current role of the book in Architecture. If historically the book acted as the main medium for the dissemination of architectural knowledge, its current relevance can be questioned. Nearly two decades after the announced “death of print”, the production of architecture books is thriving. It seems that despite the speed, agility and economy digital brought to publishing, architects and publishing houses still rely on books to get their messages across. Why is this so? What makes books relevant to publishing in Architecture? Which intentions and characteristics do books contain that allow them to thrive? In this symposium, in the HOUSE 2, under the viaduct facing Toni Areal, Christophe Girot, Sonja Hildebrand, Florian Sauter, Irina Davidovici, Jørg Himmelreich and Emma Letizia Jones (ALICE) shared with us their views and their books.
