The House That Design Journalism Built: Observatory: Design Observer Rick Poynor The House That Design Journalism Built "The continuing closure of print publications without equally auspicious online platforms to replace them is not a good sign". Reflexió de Poynor sobre les publicacions sobre diseny. Des dels anys 80 , a propòsit d' un número   de  DESIGN, fins la crítica publicada avui. Més enllà de la  nostàlgia proposa alternatives i exemples. També coincideix en que les revistes son una perfecte font per una recerca històrica.

http://thatnewdesignsmell.net/ A  Desing Observer,   Rick Poynor, ( The House That Design Journalism Built: Observatory: Design Observer ),    don una  referencia d' una nova revista -web a considerar. La  versió impresa es perllonga en les opinions  recollides a la pàgina web i així s' encoratja el diàleg. "The continuing closure of print publications without equally auspicious online platforms to replace them is not a good sign. So let’s hope for renewal. Last week I did, in fact, see a new publication, issue 0 of a critical design magazine with the boldly acerbic, though admittedly slightly off-putting title  That New Design Smell . The magazine, divided between web and print, is conceived and edited  by Michèle  Champagne , an ambitious Canadian MFA graduate from the  Sandberg Institute  in Amsterdam, with a crisp, “flight attendant” persona — her tutors’ words, not mine — and a nicely cultivate...

Storefront for Art and Architecture | Programming: series  20  april , 2012 ARCHIZINES LIVE: Symposium on Publishing Practices 5 Manifesto Series on: MEDIUM / SPEED / HISTORY / CRISIS / DESIRE In conjunction with the exhibition  Archizines , Storefront hosts a 2-day symposium on publishing practices as part of its Manifesto Series.    Throughout its exhibition tour,  Archizines  has provided platforms for architectural research and debate, demonstrating the residual love of the printed word and paper page. Made by architects, artists and students, the publications included in the exhibition add an important, and often radical, addition to architectural discourse that will be further explored through the Manifesto Series.    Storefront will live-stream the event at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/archizines-live. The 2-day symposium will include a Manifesto Series consisting of presentations on themes of medium/speed/history/...

InfraNet Lab  is a research collective probing the spatial byproducts of contemporary resource logistics. The laboratory posits the argument that a body of unique built works continues to arise out of the complex negotiation of, and competition for, biotic and abiotic resources. Operating in a manner similar to infrastructures, these works have evolved to merge landscape, urbanism, and architecture into a sophisticated mutant assemblage of surfaces, containers, and conduits. The globe’s networked ecologies of food, water, energy, and waste have established new infrastructures and forms of urbanism linking dispersed entities. These agglomerations evolve and shift as resources are uncovered or depleted. While these ecologies exist at the service of our contemporary lifestyles, they have typically remained hidden from view and from the public conscience. Yet as resources of food, fuel and water begin to run scarce, new resources are mined and new networks develop. Long accep...

THE ARSENALOF EXCLUSION & INCLUSION  is   a blog from   Interboro Partners, a New York City-based office of architects, urban designers, and planners, working together to improve cities with innovative, experimental design ideas. Interboro is led by Tobias Armborst, Daniel D’Oca, and Georgeen Theodore.  We may see projects, diary, awards, Cvs in their site INTERBORO . An excerpt f rom the definition of the blog  : “Cities exist to bring people together, but cities are pretty good at keeping people apart, too. this is a blog about “weapons” used by architects, planners, policy-makers, developers, real estate brokers, community activists and other urban actors to wage the ongoing war between integration and segregation, between nimby (not in my back yard), and wimby (welcome in my back yard)”. They are preparing a book: The arsenal of exclusion & inclusion that is announced to be published by Actar.

1990-2000 History From Any Corporation web site is  the following exerpt: " In the decade leading to the new millennium, Anyone sponsored ten multidisciplinary and cross-cultural conferences on the condition of architecture at the end of the millennium. The results of each conference - the participants' papers and edited transcripts of the discussions - are published in books of the same name. The conferences, which took place between 1991-2000, were held at different sites around the globe and explored different themes based on architectural definitions of the ten compound any words in the English dictionary". Index of Conferences held in:  http://www.anycorp.com/any_conferences.php   and  Any books published  in:   http://www.anycorp.com/any_books.php This post is only a introductory  note for a further  deep study  required .

(May 1993-oct 2000) From ANY Corporation  web site is the following excerpt: " The bimonthly magazine  ANY  critically examined architecture, its relationships to other disciplines, and its cultural role in general at the end of the millennium. ANY, the name of which both reads as something undecidable (any magazine) and as an acronym for Architecture New York, involved architects, critics, theorists, sociologists, economists and others from around the world who address issues in architecture that bear on contemporary culture. The publication, which began in May 1993, also sponsored public seminars to open up the discussion of themes presented in the magazine. Publication ceased in October 2000 with number 27". A index of published issues and content  is in :  http://www.anycorp.com/any_issues.php Esta es una nota que necesitaría de una explicación más extensa, fruto de un estudio más   detallado,  pendiente de realizar. 

From about in Log web site we extract what is Log: "Log is an independent journal on architecture and the contemporary city that presents criticism and commentary in a literary format designed to resist the seductive power of the image in media, while identifying and elaborating the central concerns of architectural thinking and production today. A carefully crafted compendium of essays, interviews, and brief "observations," Log provides an ongoing international platform for the exchange of ideas, both bearing on and emanating from architecture and the city, among a curious audience of readers, including architects, designers, students, scholars, and artists. Published three times a year, general "open" issues are punctuated by occasional thematic issues on prescient topics.  Founded in 2003, Log is a project of the Anyone Corporation, a non-profit organization in New York City devoted to advancing architectural thought and writing".
