Having published work is a big part of marketing an architecture practice. The more people who are exposed to your design work, the more opportunity you'll have to promote your expertise and services. Publications like Archinect are go-to destinations for the industry and design enthusiasts.

Some of those pitches are well prepared and well received, while others are poorly prepared and either ignored or forgotten.

"Do you think in RGB or CMYK?" – A Look at What Goes Into the Production of Project Journal

2018-10-25T13:28:00-04:00

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.

This week we speak to Alfie Koetter, one of three editors of Project Journal, about their newest issue.

Project and other publications featured in the series are now available at Archinect Outpost, our new initiative in downtown LA’s Arts District, as well as our online store.

Join us in celebrating the launch of the newest issue of Project Journal at Archinect Outpost on Friday, October 26th, 6-9 PM.

Why we're starting a print magazine after 20 years of publishing digitally

2017-05-02T15:31:00-04:00

When I started Archinect 20 years ago, in the summer of 1997, the internet was still many years away from becoming a replacement for newspapers and magazines. Since then, the media landscape has changed drastically, with most print publications now dedicating the majority of their time and budget to their digital platforms. Today we consume media in a different way than we have ever done in the past, for better or worse. We expect more content, with higher quality, but human nature tends to give in to the quick and gratifying. Journalism has struggled to monetize quality investigations and writing as sites like Buzzfeed have proven that listicles, fun photos, and quick content bites offer a much greater return in dollars and followers.
