Redlines: SOILED

2018-04-24T09:00:00-04:00

Redlines is a collection of interviews with editors that make today's most provocative architectural publications come to life. While architecture is traditionally concerned with buildings, materials, and scale, their importance and historical impact are recorded through words, books, and images that are often organized, published, and disseminated. Redlines seeks to understand the pedagogical and design frameworks that shape this process.

In this session, we look at SOILED; Co-founded by architect Joseph Altshuler and performance artist Isaac Bloom, SOILED was conceived upon a simple observation: even though architecture is all around us, architecture lacks an accessible venue for public consumption and entertainment.

Screen/Print #30: SOILED's "Cloudscrapers"

SOILED is back, dirtier than ever. Our first-ever Screen/Print featured SOILED's Windowscrapers, and for its next issue, the Chicago-based publication devoted to making “a mess of the built environment and the politics of space” set it sights a bit higher up. After scraping the windows, it gazes to Cloudscrapers, centering its architectural storytelling into the upper reaches of our atmosphere.

Screen/Print is an experimentation in translation across media, featuring a close-up digital look at printed architectural writing. Divorcing content from the physical page, the series lends a new perspective to nuanced architectural thought.

For this issue, we’re featuring SOILED magazine’s fourth issue, Windowscrapers.
