Urban Discussions Never Sleep; A Conversation with Bernd Upmeyer, Founder of MONU Magazine

2018-12-10T15:41:00-05:00

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 MONU Magazine. MONU is run by Bernd Upmeyer. Bernd Upmeyer is the editor-in-chief and founder of MONU Magazine. He is also the founder of the Rotterdam-based Bureau of Architecture, Research, and Design (BOARD).

Greater urbanism, the focus of the latest issue of MONU magazine, is a term aiming to describe urban phenomena and strategies associated with cities expanding their territories (“greater” as bigger and more complex); and/or increasing their economic or symbolic power (“Greater” as grander). Revisiting the magazine’s rich content, profiled in Screen/Print #6, this review, by Petros Phokaides, Loukas Triantis and Iris Polyzos, aims to offer critical insights on some of the challenges faced by urbanism today, and a quick reflection on current dynamics/discussions on the future of cities.

Screen/Print is an experiment 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 MONU's 19th issue, Greater Urbanism.
