The exhibition, curated by Elias Redstone, originated as an online project and showcases 60 architecture magazines, fanzines and journals from over 20 countries.

We're honored to have both our new Archinect News Digest 'zine, as well as Bracket, included in the upcoming ARCHI-ZINES exhibition at the AA in London.
