On 9 October, the discussion 'Archithese reader: Critical Positions in Search of Postmodernity 1971-1976' takes place.
This event focuses on the role that architectural magazines, including the editorial processes behind them, played in recording and propelling architectural culture during the 20th century, and up to today. It will start with an introduction to the Swiss journal Archithese, which Gabrielle Schaad and Torsten Lange have studied in their recent book, archithese reader, and will then open up to a panel discussion, with Elsbeth Ronner and Janina Gosseye, during which also the legacies of other architectural magazines will be discussed, as well as the challenges that such magazines face today.
