Archinect is pleased to announce the release of the inaugural issue of Ed, our new print publication. The first issue focuses on “The Architecture of Architecture”—how architecture is constitutively enmeshed within ecologies, economies, socio-politics, technological regimes, and patriarchal structures. In the issue, some of the most innovative voices in contemporary architecture take a look at how this operates, and how it can be redesigned. In short, “The Architecture of Architecture” endeavors to sketch out the limits of contemporary architectural practice and thought, and to imagine alternatives.
Conceived of as a thought-provoking journal wrapped in a visually-rich magazine, the issue features a conversation with the Barcelona-based studio MAIO about their first ground-up project, as well as an interview with the artist Martin Beck by Amelia Stein, and a special iteration of Archinect’s recurring interview series Small Studio Snapshots featuring Brandão Costa Arquitectos. Alongside this is a series of beguiling photos by the Los Angeles-based duo Meatwreck, a feature from Interboro Partners’ new book The Arsenal of Inclusion and Exclusion, a series of innovative designs by the Vienna-based collective iheartblob, a close-up investigation of library architecture in the digital age by Joseph Kennedy, and an experiment in designing inclusive bathrooms by Tolo Architecture.
“The Architecture of Architecture” includes essays by Troy Conrad Therrien, the Feminist Architecture Collaborative, Manuel Shvartzberg-Carrío, Caitlin Blanchfield and Nina Kolowratnik with Ophelia Rivas, Jaffer Kolb, Jack Self, Giovanna Borradori, Miles Dugan, Lori Brown, Marina Otero Verzier, Scott Deisher, and Andreas Angelidakis. It is designed by the LA-based Folder Studio.
Starting this Tuesday, we’ll be releasing select projects and essays from “The Architecture of Architecture” on Archinect, as well as excerpted texts. Purchase a copy now or subscribe to get the next four issues as soon as they come out. With your purchase, you’ll get access to exclusive digital content as well.
Ed #1 “The Architecture of Architecture” can be purchased here.

Looking good!
Is it stocked by any kiosk or bookstore in Amsterdam by any chance?
$15 shipping to Canada or $62 per year ... ouch.
Can someone explain the image of someone stepping on bread? Is this your idea of avant garde? The total lack of respect for food is very disturbing.
What's there to explain? For some people that bread just became even more edible or finally edible...
@Nicholas, I still need to smell it before I buy/order it, so do you know if Ed's in any kiosk or bookshop in Amsterdam?
@randomised - not (yet) in Amsterdam, but Ed will be available very soon at NAi Boekverkopers / Booksellers in Rotterdam
As an architect working in Rotterdam, this is great news :-)
Arrived yesterday, and I've started reading. Very sharp, and sharp looking. Congrats Nicholas and others!
