Interesting - Archigram said the same thing in their connected city studies.

count me in plooky!!!!!
I want the censored red copy!! Is it true that you are a bunch of reds?

LOL q...

evil - expand?

what issue was it that you gave me the +q. nickname?

the voychisonk issue, just cant remember number

a little expansion of my own...

the content of Architrave is almost exclusively created by students, whether studio work, theoretical meandering or what have you, although certainly influenced by what we read elsewhere...

#9

manipulate

You know, they should create a pdf-virtual edition and put it in the wesite
Talk to the new editor....
Best-Student run magazine, and I aint kidding

the new editor is a grad student (think that's a first?) and he has some sort of indirect editing/magazine experience (vague enough?). I'm sure a virtual edition is not too far off. This new guy is bringing a degree of organization and rigor to it that is unprecedented (something that would have been impossible with the likes of you and our buddy J)

yeah we did have too many "personalities" that year, great product though!!!!

yeah we did have too many "personalities" that year, great product though!!!! and it was all fun!

for sure...

thanks for all of your interest Archinect. I've gotten a ton of replies already!

"the notion that Steven brought up in the above mentioned thread; that stuff is what people identify with, not substance."

just to clarify. i don't think that people are naturally disposed to identify with stuff over design (or substance). it's just what they learn from exposure.

just like we learned to appreciate zumthor and corb and tschumi (we wouldn't have developed this appreciation naturally), the general public is exposed to 'extreme makeover: home edition' and 'what not to wear' and 'i want that!' and 'house hunters' and all the junk that they see in the sharper image and pottery barn catalogs and that's what they learn to desire.

agreed.

the article that made me think of (entitled: "No[mad]: The American Dream" if I remember correctly) states a similar position, that this is a result of what you call "exposure."

thanks for the clarification.

The statement about stuff - very Archigramish. They looked at the city as the stuff, people, actions occurring in it and the architecture was mere static backdrop. I havent linked to the site yet - just a mere observence based on the statement above....Remember archigram was really into the throw away stuff and flow of information and ideas.
In fact I recall a statement by Heron I think, it wenrt " when it rains people are more concerned about the rain than the buildings".

I may add too, that Architrave is always looking for submissions!!!
They tried to get a broad range of views on he profession, many times from people outside of it.
I no longer have any connection with them, but Im sure you an e-mai the editor and submit your work/rants/etc....
The more "stuff" the better

yes, submissions are open to anyone (usually students and young professionals, but not exclusively). check the website for submission details. The new issue (#13) is coming out soon, so the info for #14 should be available soon...

typically there is a theme that feature articles respond to (kinda like JUR). Studio work doesn't need to be theme responsive, and timely yet non-thematic rants are always welcome.

I really liked the last one (million pic cover). The current team has big challenge.

that collage (the million pic cover) came from a studio project by a fellow archinecter. The various process pieces from the creation of that collage (before it became the cover) were also exhibited in the School of Art and Art History (SAAH) Focus Gallery as part of their Ligature Exhibit.

I'm fairly sure that no other arch project had ever broken that barrier and gained recognition from the SAAH.

If you recall, issue #10 was the first time Architrave published something from the SAAH. We sought out a student who had a great project in the Focus Gallery and he submitted it, and it was subsequently published (yeah that's right, we started the dialogue!).

Since then the magazine's mission statement has evolved to include the SAAH and the College of Fine Arts, in addition to the SoA and the College of Design, Construction and Planning...

Is Bernie still there? He must be 1000 by now.
That guys still scares the shit out of me. I can
still remember him crushing a friend of mines model and then
looking at him and going "Wadda ya gonna do about it!".

And the smell of the Tipparillos...Yikes!

ya, he's retired, and he quit smoking. Actually, the issue that +q mentioned earlier, #9 - manipulate, was dedicated to him during his last semester there. He actually let us use one of his triptych painting series for the cover.

That guy is unforgetable, for sure. I got involved with Architrave largely because of his influence. He didn't recommend it, just brought the fire out of me, and everyone else for that matter.

"Say it another way" BV

"Bullshit!!!!!" BV

LOL

or how about, "I'll buy that"

..which is only true if what you do next is freakin' amazing...

I got more "Bullshit"'s than "Ill buy that"'s in his class. I carry them like merit badges.....

back to top

Are there copies still available? If so I'll e-mail when I get home. I'm at work right now and can't access my mail.

ya Jordan, there are some left. Thanks for your interest.

Get 'em while they're hot!

did the name of this thread change?

ya

sorry if this seems inconsiderate. After Friday I will stop sending it to the top every so often...just want to get the word out...

Whats inconsiderate?

continually sending my ad-style thread to the top of the discussion list to continue to grab attention...and linking it whenever possible from other threads....

S P A M M E R

:(

:(

why don't you post it on your blog?

well Javier, as I expected, the SchoolBlog entry garnered a whopping two emails of interest, while the discussion forum post worked much better.

Did the magazine reach those who responded to me via email back in August?

I made a mailing list from the responses that I received and sent it to the editor, who assured me that issue #13 would be sent upon completion.


If you got it, great. If issue #10 wasn't included, I'll figure out why and work it out...

i got one! not sure what # issue it was. i'll have to check when i get a chance.

thanks, ap. cool publication.

cool...probably #13, the latest. glad you like it.
