Description

With the theme “Architecture and Publishing Architecture”, the Az W entered the meta-level of architectural mediation in November of last year.

An approach to the topic took place via lectures and several discussion rounds under different aspects. For three days, architectural journalists and critics discussed “Architectural Criticism in the Feuilleton”, “Architecture on the Newsstand: Between Criticism and Affirmation, Lifestyle and Architectural Reporting”, “Theory Magazines: Strategies, Positioning, Future? In the field of tension between publishers and architects. Positionings and Strategies” and “The Architecture Debate in Austria: Positions, Developments, Possibilities”. Kerstin Gust summarized the discussions for hintergrund.
