Hi, I'm Maddi, the junior editor of a new architecture publication, Mole Magazine. We've got a fantastic team of jurors, and would love to receive submissions on our topic before September 30st. 

We are also currently being featured on Bustler, BD Online, Death by Architecture, and World Architects, so take a look at our poster and read the brief. We're looking forward to some great submissions!

THE BRIEF

"A group of architecture students affiliated with the University of
Waterloo School of Architecture are launching a new publication, Mole
Magazine. With a jury including Mason White of Lateral Office, Daniel
D'Oca of Interboro Partners, Brigitte Shim of Shim - Sutcliffe, Aileen Kwun of Project Projects and
John Hong and Jinhee Park of SsD, the first issue is expected to print
January 2013. The inaugural theme is "Cute Little Things";
As our world expands, its components are becoming infinitely small:
smartphones, microchips, mp3’s, teacup chihuahuas and so forth. We
have become obsessed, and increasingly adept, at compacting complex
systems and ideas into cute little packages. The downsizing movement
has become immensely profitable; even the infamous American
consumerism has been won over by this ubiquitous trend, putting
pressure on product designers to cater to a marketplace where “smaller
is better”; nanotechnology, ‘fun-sized’ snacks, Smart cars, and
microbreweries have established a viable and pervasive market. New
forms of infrastructure, technology and architecture are emerging in
response to this vastly expanding framework. Architectural
representation has begun to stray from the standard methods of
communication, encapsulating entire projects into intellectually
bite-sized diagrams.
Ironically, while the objects are becoming smaller, the modes of
operation have become incredibly efficient in fragmenting holistic
systems into a list of parts. The design community is tasked with the
exciting challenge of exploring new means and narratives in response
to the contemporary compacted landscape. What could be the new methods
in organizing complexities embedded in our social networks and
consumer culture? What is the role of designers in a world that asks
for hyper-specialization? What are the potentials of small in
mobility, transferability, economy, new materials, and customizations?
Mole begins its inaugural launch with small beginnings and invites a
discussion on all things cute and little.

Deadline is September 30th, 2012
