32bny actually looks like a legitamate mag v. architecture which i dont think anyone wants even if its given away. $18/issues is a lot of chop suey for a chinese national architect....
hmmm.....wonder if paul is going to add a 'chinese filter' or an archinect chinese edition...
not ever having seen it it looks like it has pulled in some theory and maybe critical discourse within the covers? and pulled some young'ns in who are doing things in china. looks like its tryn to be a fancy ivy journal
am i getting a sense that commenters are annoyed there is so much coverage on China? what's the big deal? there's ridiculous money there ... seems appropriate the editors would start making networks ...
oh yeah, i don't think you ought to underestimate the money chinese architects and firms spend. (i did business there last year). just because it's a developing nation doesnt mean architects would not buy something 'expensive.' they are just as interested in knowing what's going on through glossy mags as we are. and considering the boom, many probably earn more than a number of small firms here in the US ... at least all the ones (including "national" architects) i met did.

I'm not annoyed I just hope there is a chinese language magazine that is published by the chinese and not mcgraw-hill. can you dig?
ah i see ... i agree. :)
but john -- whose to say the chinese dont own mcgraw-hill? a name is a very illusive device.....
possible and I see your point, but I doubt it
