wallpaper has seriosly lost its edge since tyler brûlé split after episode 49. the whole thing seems to be about nothing more than buying the coolest shit...whatever that is this month.

i actually think that robb report luxury home and architectural digest are probably more relevant.

I have a subscription to Metropolis...interesting read usually. Seems to cover all the bases; architecture, art, planning issues, product design and some social and political commentary worked in. One thing I hate is how one two page article is spread out over six pages because it's broken up with ads. I guess that's any magazine though.

Detail

Compare to some other architectural magazines, it's pretty expensive to subscribe but with Detail, you can actually use it as reference for several years after its issuing date. It's very resourceful. Metropolis has some good readings, but just like any other magazines, it's loaded with advertisements.

A Center for Ants?

i was about to say Detail as well. fulcrum is 100% right.

It's an amazing resource and invaluable as a fixture in your library. i have a few copies on my desk as i type. all the copies at my firm are all dogeared and post-it tabbed quite thoroughly

i think MARK (by the guys from FRAME, and also FRAME) could be good options...mmhh DOMUS is ionteresting from time to time...mmhhh ICON, i definetly like ICON, by the way if someone knows where i can find ICON consistently at Barcelona i would apreciate if u share the location....Medit r u around?? know any good place to find ICON magazine at BCN???

MORFO, start ur own magazine, publish ur friends and u will have the best magazine ever ;-)
thats the way all magazines starts anyways

ABITARE has always been one of my favorites.
Also WOOD DESIGN & BUILDING.

Hey MADianito, I was in BCN last year. I would be interested in starting a magazine too. Let's work on that idea?? BTW have you seen LOG or ANY? http://www.anycorp.com/

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I do find ABITARE and MARK quite interesting. Of course DETAIL is always good.

start your own indeed. pamphlet architecture, while not a mag, started that way in the late 70s. college roommates, steven holl and bill stout, conceived of the idea as a venue for the thoughts and works of a younger generation of architects.

e + morfo pamphlet started that way as also 306090 i had my own "architectural fanzine" when i was at school... i had a blast doin it, i dont have time to do it anymore, but is fun....

MORFO yeah ANY "was" cool, but long ago since they stopped printing those books... they had a magazine published after called LOG if i remember well... i dunno what ANY corp has been doing lately, we should ask Peter E.

STILL ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO GET ICON at BARCELONA???
